10 most deadliest snakes?Top 10 Most Venomous Snakes! - YouTube
approx 200,000 people are bitten by snakes every year in India alone with 50,000 dying so India has the most dangerous snakes compared to any other country , but Australia has the most venomous, but we have only a couple of deaths a year, even in New Guinea 600 people are year die from snake bite
Well that definitely qualifies as a "dumbest question".so does that make india the most dumbest country ?????
gee, sorry to offend blueWell that definitely qualifies as a "dumbest question".
Talk to random group of Aussies about snakes before opening your mouth. Aside from tourniquets, sucking out the venom and ( an APS favourite ) the snake sentinel I hear things like rub milk on the wound, they always find their way back and carpets are crossing with various random vens. Two days ago a woman was telling me that she uncovered a nest of taipans in her back lawn and proceeded to describe young Anomalopus verreauxi! The reason she knew that they were tiapans was because her next door neighbor told her and I couldn't convince her otherwise.so does that make india the most dumbest country ?????
This rant is very close to my "most dangerous" rant. I would add the prevalence of bare feet and the cost of the anti-venom compared to the average wage. I doubt we would be so sanguine about hots if a nip could cost us half a years wageForget the cobras..The real killer is Russell's Viper.

In its defence, the video did state it was only the LD50. However, it did not say if the data provided was obtained subcutaneous, intramuscular or intravenous injection. Irrespective of that there are some glaring errors. There also some issues with the LD50 which affect its validity, which I shan't go into unless you are specifically interested.10 most deadliest snakes?Top 10 Most Venomous Snakes! - YouTube
You mean I could have corrected this common misconception with just a link? Bugger!.... This rant is very close to my "most dangerous" rant.

That would have been amazing. I have only ever read about them and seen photos and a few videos. They really don't obey the normal 'rules'.I had the opportunity to play with a saw scaled viper in Sri Lanka....
They do not make the top ten in terms of toxicity of their venom. I do not know the approximate number but I would say that there are likely over 100 species of snake that can deliver a fatal bite. So in any short list, a lot will miss out.So where do the west african gaboon's and these.... My Monocled Cobra - YouTube sit in the scheme of things????
without brains more likelyIndia just has the most people with out health care.
