Inland Taipan
What is it about the Inland Taipan that makes it the most venomous snake on the planet? This creature is adept at hunting mammals. It has a venom that has evolved to be particularly deadly to warm-blooded species. The bite is a triple threat. Its venom is a cocktail of hemotoxins, myotoxins, and neurotoxins that attack the nervous system, muscular system, and blood all at the same time. There are reports that an adult Inland Taipan carries enough venom to cause death in 100 people.

Saw-Scaled Viper
In some ways, you can say that the Saw-Scaled Viper is the opposite of the King Cobra. It is a small snake that only grows as long as 3 feet. However, it has a very potent cytotoxic and hemotoxic venom. They can cause debilitating strokes and prolonged bleeding. There are a number of sub-species that can be found in eastern and northern Africa, while others are seen in the wetter parts of the Arabian Peninsula.
