King Brown Snake
The King Brown Snake is huge and can grow up to 10 feet in length. It has a pretty weak venom, but you should know that it can deliver a huge quantity of it. The snake can transmit almost 600 milligrams in just one bite. If it is left untreated, the venom can overwhelm the human body. Around 30 percent to 40 percent of its victims die. It is found in grasslands, woodlands, deserts, and scrubs in Australia, save for Tasmania and Victoria.

Sharp-Nosed Pit Viper
It is possible that this Southeast Asian viper species led to the birth of the “hundred pace poison” legend. It has very deadly hemotoxic venom that can cause ulcers, tissue necrosis, and hemorrhaging. According to old legends, a victim will only be able to walk a hundred paces before it dies. There are areas in which that figure drops down to only 50 paces. There is now an anti-venom, but will it reach the victim in only 100 steps?
