Yep - it would be good if ALL the experts and documentation could come to a consensus worldwide on what snake is the most deadliest: with tables for : toxicity and venomous ( effect vs amount )
Aggression, multiple strikes, speed, and likelihood of coming into contact with them.
And antivenin access.
Same with spiders.
I had heard that the Black Momba, was the world's most "deadly".
But, that Australia, after that held so many deady snakes as a proportion of it's snakes and a lot.
Taipan: again was told: not the most toxic, but the most venomous in a single bite, but the toxicity is still very high, hence in Australia, it has been regarded as the most deadly, even though others here are more toxic. I also thought it was aggressive but the video showed that there are x2 types and a message that there are x4 types.
I thought the brown snakes, king and eastern, taipan and tiger snakes were the most aggressive !?
And red belly black snakes were quite placid. Perhaps it also depends on how hard the snake bites and how long it holds onto you ?
So I wish it would all be nutted out.
I was hitting the snout of a red belly black snake with the heel of my boots, for about 15 minutes and didn't know.!?
When I hopped off the felled Murray River Red gum, and turned around and looked at the end of the trunk that I was hitting with my shoes, I heard a really loud hiss , but it was more like a human expelling a full lung of air - and in the narrow core of the trunk was the head of a red belly black snake - I was either striking him or close to him - I presumed he had wedged himself in and couldn't recoil to strike - that's my only explanation!?
I have come across them many a time in public outdoor areas, like the swimming areas of Canberra on the Murrumbidgee River. You just stop, let them pass, and it is all okay.
Fascinated. I'm surprised how high in altitude you can find snakes in summer: flanks of Mt Kosciusko, Orange and tiger snake on top of Mt Buffalo in Victoria.
