In your opinion within reason what would you consider the most Deadliest Snakes in the World today & why?

[ReptileMan27]

I have always heard and read the most deadly snake drop for drop was the inland taipan but now im hearing its not . Personally I think the most deadly snake is the one that bites you.

I like your thinking

The most TOXIC is the Inland Taipan

The most DANGEROUS is the Black Mamba (aggressive & fast acting toxic venom)

Most VENOMOUS (venom yield) is the King Cobra

The most TOXIC is the Inland Taipan

Inland Taipan has a neurotoxic effect so reacts speedily but I disagree about being the most TOXIC. 

The most DANGEROUS is the Black Mamba (aggressive & fast acting toxic venom)

The most dangerous is the animal that is treated with complacency so can be any animal that is able to stop the handler breathing.
The black mamba is not an aggressive snake but will defend itself aggressively.

Most VENOMOUS (venom yield) is the King Cobra

I agreed that this animal at an average length of 3.7 m (12 ft) to 5.5 m (18 ft) and is capable of flattening an elephant in about four hours but the King Brown, Mulga, Pseudechis australis delivers the most venom yield out of all snakes world wide.

IMO the most dangerous snake is one that comes into contact with alot of people and bites many people and I feel the saw scale viper or russels viper would fit that perfect.

I have worked with hundreds of w/c imported Black Mambas, and for the most part they are not as bad as some make them out to be, but I have worked with a lot of them that were somewhat aggressive in comparison to other venomous snakes. I guess the issue of aggessiveness is each persons perception. None-the-less, the Black Mamba is considered the most dangerous of all the venomous snakes.

Are all relative to the mindset and circumstance but a good debate all the same. I don’t believe there can be a wrong answer but rather a unlikely scenario. 

Hi Cobraman good chatting with you mate.

Yea this is defently an ungoing debate. Most snakes venom is based on how many rodents one drop of venom can kill and to me thats pretty usless in determing how dangerous it is to a human. I find the LD50 table used for scorpion venom alot to, I know more about scorps and keep many hot species so I can say from experience that I find it usless in determing how dangerous/deadly the species is. To me the Most Deadly and Most Dangerous are two different things. The inland tapain seems to be considered the most deadly drop for drop but that doesent mean its the most dangerous because where it lives it rarely comes in contact with people and bites very few, plus never heard any deaths from it. If you look at a saw scale or russels venom, they have a very poetent venom and tend to hang around places where theirs people because their favorite food, rats can be found their. But they do bite a heck of alot of people and im sure are responsible for alot of deaths, so IMO they are the most dangerous snake.

inland tipans are the most deadlist BECAUSE if you get bitten in the wild here in australia, you have no chance on getting to a hospital, where is there a hospital in the middle? bloody long drive. your stuffed if you get bitten by one because of there location, lets say you got bitten by one in a city , sure you should live if you use the bandage technique
