This species is the world's longest venomous snake, reaching up to 5.7m (18.7ft). Despite the word Cobra in its name, this snake is not part of the True Cobra family. Mainly feeding on lizards and rodents, the King Cobra tends to avoid human contact but does have a fearsome reputation. Although not every bite can be venomous, an untreated venomous bite from this serpent has a fatality rate of 50-60%.

Number 14. The Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake

This venomous pit viper is found mainly in southeast United States. It's the heaviest venomous snake in America and the largest Rattlesnake species. They can measure over 2.1m (6.8ft) long and weigh up to 15.4kg (34lb). One popular myth is that these snakes must rattle before striking but in fact they're actually quite capable of striking while remaining completely silent. Symptoms of a bite from these snakes include instant pain like two hot needles, bleeding from the mouth, hypotension, a weak pulse, swelling and severe pain in the affected limb.

Number 13. The Death Adder

Number 10. The Saw-Scaled Viper

Number 3. The Coastal Taipan

Number 2. The Eastern Brown Snake

The Eastern Brown Snake, most venomous snake, most poisonous snake, top ten venomous snake, top ten poisonous snake

Often referred to as the Common Brown Snake, it is considered the world's second most venomous land snake. Native to Australia and Indonesia these snakes are fast and aggressive. Although the venom is extremely toxic and fatal, this species tends to initiate their defense with non-fatal bites first. However it would be like playing Russian Roulette, a bite would have a 20% chance to kill you, so if you don't die the first time, I wouldn't suggest hanging around.

Number 1. The Inland Taipan
