and are capable of striking up to two-thirds of their body length the eastern diamondback is considered the most venomous species in north america surprisingly juveniles are considered more dangerous than adults due to their inability to control the amount of venom injected most species of rattlesnakes have hemotoxic venom destroying tissue degenerating organs and preventing blood clotting some degree of permanent scarring is very likely in the event of a venomous bite even with prompt effective treatment and can lead to the loss of a limb or even death difficulty breathing paralysis drooling and massive blood loss are common symptoms thus their bites are always a potentially fatal injury untreated rattlesnake bites especially from larger species are very often fatal however anti-venom when applied in time reduces the death rate to less than four percent number nine the death adder they don't call these guys death adders for nothing this highly venomous snake found in australia of course and new guinea they actually specialize in hunting and killing other snakes including some on this list usually via ambush death adders look quite similar to vipers in that they have triangular shaped heads and short squat bodies small as they are they pack quite a punch and it's very fast too with the quickest strike in the world a death hatter can go from strike position to striking and back again particularly due to the relatively slow progression of symptoms but before its development a death header bite had a fatality rate of 50 percent number eight vipers fibers can be east and central asia particularly india china and southeast asia but no matter where in the world they came from vipers are quick-tempered and generally nocturnal often active after rains they're also very fast like many of the other snake species we have here most of these species have venom that cause symptoms that begin with pain at the side of the bite immediately followed by swelling of the bitten body part bleeding is a common symptom especially from the gums there is a drop in blood pressure and the heart rate fails blistering bite victims also report excruciating pain that lasts anywhere from 2-4 weeks fortunately there is anti-venom for most viper venom right or even later number seven the philippine cobra found exclusively in the northern provinces in the philippines the philippine cobra is a snake greatly feared by locals and with good reason drop for drop its venom is the deadliest of all the cobra species and they're capable of spitting it up to 3 meters the venom is a neurotoxin which affects cardiac and respiratory function and can cause neurotoxicity respiratory paralysis and death in 30 minutes they can be found in low-lying planes and forested regions along with open fields grasslands dense jungle agricultural fields and human settlements they have a sort of love-hate relationship with farmers because even though they're quite deadly they're also quite effective in controlling the vermin population they predominantly prey on small mammals frogs and even other snakes small rodents such as mice and small rats are their preferred prey and make up the majority of their diets however they will also eat other sizable snakes small lizards frogs eggs and when the opportunity arises small birds number six the mainland tiger snake found along the southeastern coast of australia from new south wales and victoria to tasmania and the far corner of south australia the venomous mainland tiger snake has a very potent neurotoxic venom symptoms can include localized pain in the foot and neck region tingling numbness and sweating followed by a fairly rapid onset of breathing difficulties and paralysis they are responsible for the second highest number of bites in australia as they inhabit highly populated areas along the east coast including some metropolitan areas on melbourne depending on where they're found they will eat various types of frogs lizards birds and mammals they are attracted to farms and other suburban homes where they hunt mice nocturnally and can easily be trodden on by unsuspecting victims in the darkness bites are fatal if untreated causing pain in the feet and neck tingling numbness and sweating followed by breathing difficulties and paralysis the venom also damages the blood and muscles leading to renal failure number five the black mamba black mambas aren't only one of the most venomous snags in the world but also the fastest land snake in the world they've been blamed for numerous human deaths and african myths exaggerate their capabilities to legendary proportions for these reasons the black mamba is widely considered the world's deadliest snake found in many parts of africa they are africa's longest venomous snake reaching up to they then spread their cobra leg neck flap open their black mouths and hiss if an attacker persists the mamba will strike not once but repeatedly injecting large amounts of potent nero and cardiotoxin venom with each strike before the invention of black mamba antivenin a bite from this fearsome serpent was almost always fatal usually within about 20 minutes unfortunately anti-venom is still not widely available in the rural parts of the mambas range and mamba related deaths remain pretty frequent number four the malayan blue crate the malayan blue crate is a highly venomous but common species that occurs in peninsular malaysia thailand singapore and sumatra in southeast asia it is probably the most venomous snake found in asia and it ranks among the deadliest snakes in the world this type of snake lives in a wide variety of habitats often close to a water source amongst their preferred habitats are rocky areas and waterways but it also inhabits deciduous shrubby areas with sandy soils hill forests primary evergreen forests or plantations how dangerous are they well very apparently according to surveys conducted throughout southeast asia and indonesia fifty percent of bites from the deadly blue crate are fatal even with the administration of anti-venom the venom is a neurotoxin 16 times more potent than that of a cobra it quickly induces muscle paralysis by preventing the ability of nerve endings to properly release the chemical that sends the message to the next nerve this is followed by a period of massive cramps tremor deductible to permanent coma and even brain death from hypoxia number three the eastern brown snake the eastern brown snake is a venomous species of reptile that lives in australia and new guinea it prefers to live in dry areas so it can be found in the grassland scrubland and sparse forests it's so venomous that only 1 out of 14 000 of an ounce of its venom is enough to kill an adult human it is also very fast and can be aggressive under certain circumstances and has been known to chase aggressors and repeatedly strike at them they're so dangerous that even juveniles have been known to deliver fatal bites to humans unfortunately its preferred habitat is also along the major population centers of australia the venom contains both neurotoxins and blood coagulants fortunately for humans less than half of bites contain venom and they prefer not to bite if at all possible they react only to movement so stand very still if you ever encounter one in the wild now it's time for today's best pick

number two the mozambique spitting cobra the mozambique spitting cobra is a very common snake in africa with a very potent venom the species accounts for many snake bites and for that reason it is considered one of the most dangerous snakes in africa they are found mostly in lowland forest and moist savannas where it prefers broken rocky country hollow logs and termite mounds and animal holes they are often found close to water sources to which it will readily retreat if disturbed these snakes seldom stand their ground if cornered it may spread its hood however its main defense other than retreating into hiding is to spit out its venom with uncanny accuracy although their fangs are specifically designed for spitting they also bite in some occasions 50 milligrams of their venom is fatal to humans and on average a single bite can contain 180 milligrams of this toxic substance a bite that doesn't receive early treatment will result in major tissue damage and prolonged hospital stay to repair the damage by skin grafts but with early administration of antivenom the extent of tissue damage may be reduced and fatalities are rare before we move on do me a favor my analytics show that
