In your opinon what is the worlds most toxic snake?   RE: most venomous snake Reply by SCatheris on December 3, 2007 Mail this to a friend! Well if you're talking about JUST toxicity and not other factors like yield, aggressivness (if that's a word) and size, then I'd have to say inland taipans. But I also like to think there can't be JUST one species that's the most toxic just because of thsoe others factos.   RE: most venomous snake Reply by Buzztail1 on December 3, 2007 Mail this to a friend! http://www.venomousreptiles.org/pages/VR_FAQ   RE: most venomous snake Reply by Cro on December 3, 2007 Mail this to a friend! What is this fasination everyone seems to have with labeling stuff "most" venomous, longest, heaviest, etc. ? Is it hump-night trivia or something ? I just do not see the fasination of trying to hang tags on snakes, like fastest, most lethal, heaviest, longest, most ugly, most attractive, etc. Reminds me too much of American Idle................ What purpose does it serve ?................. Best Regards JohnZ   RE: most venomous snake Reply by GREGLONGHURST on December 4, 2007 Mail this to a friend! I agree. It's a mindless question. A Volkswagen will kill you just as dead as semi. ~~Greg~~   RE: most venomous snake Reply by boomslangandrew on December 4, 2007 Mail this to a friend! i was only trying to find out this question because i wanted to find out other herps definitions of venomoussnakes   RE: most venomous snake Reply by earthguy on December 4, 2007 Mail this to a friend! Andrew, We get this question a lot (which is why it's on the Frequently Asked Questions Page), so forgive us for being a little short. There are so many factors to consider (type of venom, route of entry, individual reaction, individual snake, human reaction versus prey reaction) that it it literally impossible to answer your question. It's just best to say that any snake that can cause an envenomation should be considered potentially dangerous and treated with due respect. Other than that this question, as John and Greg pointed out, is merely an academic exercise. It doesn't matter whether you were bitten by a copperhead or a bushmaster. Dead is dead, a $90,000 hospital bill is a $90,000 hospital bill, and a lost finger is a lost finger. I hope this clarifies.   RE: most venomous snake Reply by Phobos on December 4, 2007 Mail this to a friend! The one that you were bitten by!   RE: most venomous snake Reply by SCatheris on December 5, 2007 Mail this to a friend! lol I knew Al would come through with that one. He's taking the reality route statistics are statistics and thsoe are numbers and tests. But I haven't looked at it tha way yet so I would say I agree now too with the labeling BS.   RE: most venomous snake Reply by boomslangandrew on December 6, 2007 Mail this to a friend! thanks guys this realy helped     Page 1 of 1     Next Topic:   the local petshop Previous Topic:   heating?
