THE DANGEROUS 10!!!

1. Belcher’s Sea Snake

Are you guys familiar with this kind of snakes???  you may have seen them mostly in films or maybe in person but that's quite impossible. They are known from their stripes. Usually these snakes have no interest in confrontation, they are quite shy i guess??  but if one feels threatened, it may bite you! 3/4 times this will be no big deal, since only about one quarter of Belcher’s Sea Snakes carry venom. Those that do though have the highest concentration of venom in existence. Just a few milligrams has the capacity to kill thousands of human beings, making this the most poisonous snake in the world. Lastly, most Belcher’s Sea Snakes are quite harmless thanks to a docile personality and a lack of venom.

2. Rattlesnake

When most people think of poisonous snakes, it must be the rattlesnakes that crossed your mind right?!. These snakes are found throughout the Americas and are actually a type of viper. Their name comes of course from the rattle which is found at the end of the tail and which creates a distinctive noise.Did you know that Eastern Diamondbacks are the most poisonous of all rattlesnakes?! So,
watch out from this kind of snake. Thankfully, only about 4% of bites result in fatalities with prompt treatment, but untreated, any rattlesnake bite has the potential to kill. The venom can also cause permanent damage to organs and may even lead to the loss of a limb.

3. Death Adder

Did you know that famous legend about Cleopatra using a snake to kill herself?? The type of snake she supposedly used was a death adder. These can be found throughout Australia, New Guinea, and other regions. A bite can result in paralysis, respiratory arrest, and death inside of only six hours. If you can get a fast treatment, a patient is unlikely to die, but without treatment, about 50% of bites are lethal. Death adders also prey on other snakes. Beware of this snakes guys!! 

4. Inland Taipan

 

The forth one is Inland Taipan. While it’s difficult to be as impressed by the Inland Taipan after learning about the concentration of venom in a Belcher’s Sea Snake bite, it’d be foolish to discount the Taipan just because its bite can only kill as many as 100 people!! Wow!! This is impossible right.. Taipans usually avoid human contact, however, and you are unlikely to ever encounter one.

5. Eastern Brown Snake

This kind of snakes are aggressive & commonly found in Australia, and may be found in areas like cities. If it perceives someone as a threat, it will actually chase that person out of its territor. If this snake is not sure of their own safety, it may decide to bite those who is trying to ecounter. If it does so, it may bite many times during a single attack. Less than half contain venom, but those that do can cause paralysis or death. Andddd due to its proximity to population centers and its aggression, you could argue the Eastern Brown Snake is the most dangerous snake in the world.

6. Blue Krait

This snake is not as famous as others, but its venom is 16x more dangerous than the cobra!!! There also is no really good antivenin to use, which makes it quite deadly. The Blue Krait tends to keep to itself and usually only comes out at night, though, so it is generally easy to avoid.

7. Black Mamba

This snake is usually found in Africa. A single bite contains enough venom to kill 10 people! Just ten huh? You’re still thinking about that sea snake, aren’t you?? It can travel as fast as 20 km/h, which makes it the fastest snake on the planet. The Black Mamba will bite a number of times when it attacks, and if the bite is not treated, it is almost always going to result in death.

8. Tiger Snake

This snake is native to Australia and is recognizable because of it width and yellow bands. The bites are very accurate, and without treatment, will result in death nearly three quarters of the time.

9. Philippine Cobra

This snake is easily spotted because of its wide neck collar. While cobras give us fear, most types of cobras don’t even make this list. It doesn’t even have to bite you to poison you. All it has to do is spit, and it can do that from 3 meters away and still hit you. Paralysis from the venom can cause death within thirty minutes.

10. Saw Scaled Viper

This snakes usually comes out after dark. This snake is very danger because it venom is so slow-acting that the people who has been attacked might took so long to even get the treatment. Even a small treatment can prevent death in most cases, but without it, death will overcome and hurt for 2 to 4 weeks.

So,for the conclusion now you know the most dangerous snakes in the world. Im glad that any of you who read this blog will get the benefit from it. Some snakes are easy to avoid, like the Blue Krait, while others, like the Eastern Brown Snake, may sneak up on you even in the crowded place. Some snakes are dangerous because of the speed when they attack, others because of how common and widespread they are, and still others because their toxins are so deadly & very very dangerous. As you can see, the majority are not that aggressive, and will steer clear of you if you steer clear of them. And even if you do get bit, with prompt treatment, in most cases you will live. So, last but not least take a good care of yourself wherever you are & avoid those dangerous snakes! TILL WE MEET AGAIN xoxo
