the snake that kills the most people is a carpet adder
: The most deadly snake in the world is by far any of the ones you listed. To say "most deadly" would mean one that kills the most people every year. The snakes that hold the record for most deaths are of the genus Echis (saw-scale vipers). A small viper with a very large range and a venom that is extremely toxic.
