: : : : Copperhead, : : The mag is wrong mate. : : Not having a go at ya ok. : : The list you produced is old I first saw it in about 1990. : : It was the list for along time however It only deals with toxicity in mice not aggression or venom yield. : : In Australia The most dangerous snakes as listed by the Queensland Museum are: : : Coastal Taipan Oxyuranus scutellatus : : Mulga Snake Pseudechis australis : : Death Adder Acanthophis antarcticus : : Eastern Brown Pseudonaja textilis : : Eastern Tiger Notechis scutatus : : Inland Taipan Oxyuranus microlepidotus : : Collett's snake Pseudechis colletti : : Western Brown Pseudonaja nuchalis : : Copperhead Austrelaps superbus : : Black Tiger Notechis ater : : Red Bellied Black Pseudchis porphyriacus. : : Note: This was based on temper, Venom yield, Bite frequency, Venom toxcity and Fang Length in Australian Snakes only. : : Now I keep all of the above bar 3. : : I would certainly rather a bite from a Tiger, East Brown or a Death Adder over an Inland. : : Anyway that is the list...The top 30 most Venomous is very different to the one you listed. : : Bryan Grieg Fry has a copy. : : Regards Scott Eipper. : Scott, : Oh I figured it wasn't correct, but I posted it because I thought some here may find it of interest, even if not totally correct. The list aint' my opinion. Unfortunate the author didn't consult you or Brian. : Kevin
