: Hi, to provide a very good second or even a qualifying first place for the most venomous and largest snake, I would have to include the Black Mamba of 6-9 ft in length found in central parts of Asia. : It is certainly a very bad tempered snake attacking victims without being provoked. : The rather short Saw-scaled Viper is considered to be more venomous than a King Cobra, because of the toxicity of the venom being both hematoxic and neuro toxic, delivered in a single bite in only small amounts but causing the same levels of damage to its victims, as perhaps the Golden King Cobra or Australian Tiger snakes. : These snakes are able to deliver a far higher quantity of venom in a single bite, causing a similar level of damage to that of the saw-scaled viper. : Other extremely venomous large snakes which may rival the king cobras and black mambas are: : The Giant 2 metre Tiger Snakes found on Chappel Island between Australia and Tasmania. : These live without food for 11 months and feed on migratory puffin birds that return once a year. The snakes are continuing to evolve into a larger type of Tiger Snake compared to their counterparts on mainland Australia due to the unique habitat that they live in. Currently, Herpotologists and Scientists are researching the snakes development and behaviour. This tiger snakes' venom is rated at 80 times that of the American Rattlesnake. : : : : : Does anybody know the largest of the venomous snakes. I know that the King Cobra is the largest, what is the order from there? : : : : : Thanks for any help! : : : The Largest of the venomous is the King Cobra in length, But in overall body size the largest is the South American Bushmaster. (Lachesis Muta Muta ). This snake can reach over ten feet and have a much larger girth than the King Cobra. : : : The most poisonous " Deadliest " snake is the Australian Inland Taipan. : : :Contact Gerry for all the information you need on rita_s62@hotmail.com : : He is the best as far as venemous snakes go
