I am very interested in the names of the 10 most venomous snakes in the world. And if the Black Mamba is not one of those 10 what number is it?

: : : : : : : : can you tell me the names of the ten most

: : : : : African boomslang and the African vine snake

: : : : The ten most venomous snakes are all found in Australia with the FIERCE SNAKE bieng the most deadliest venom-wise. But I think the real issue is what snakes kill the most people and are the most aggresive. From what I've heard the Fierce snake rarely comes into contact with humans so it hasn't killed any to my knowledge. Now, look at the Black Mamba of Africa and the Taipan of Australia and if you consider that both will not back down from a human and will actually go for one and that they both posses great speeds and very dadly venom(Taipan is either three or four on the list of deadly snakes) I think that they are probably two of the deadliest snakes in the world, but that's just my opinion:)
: : At any given moment a black mamba has about enough venom to kill about ten grown men. Black Mambas also strike repeatedly.
