1. Black mamba
Black mambas are fast, nervous, lethally venomous, and when threatened, highly aggressive. They have been blamed for numerous human deaths, and African myths exaggerate their capabilities to legendary proportions. For these reasons, the black mamba is widely considered the world’s deadliest snake.
2. Coastal Taipan
Eastern Taipan. The word ‘Taipan’ is the name given to this species by the
Wik-mungkan people of Cape York. This species is sometimes confused with one of several large brown-coloured elapids, such as the Eastern Brown Snake Pseudonaja textilis, Western Brown Snake nuchalis, and the Mulga Snake Pseudechis australis. The Taipan is usually distinguished by its pale face and snout,
3. Indian Cobra
The Indian cobra is large highly venomous snake and is a member of the "big four" species that inflict the most snakebites on humans in India. The Indian cobra is revered in Indian mythology and culture and is often seen with snake charmers. These snakes vary tremendously in color and pattern throughout their range. The ventral scales or the underside coloration of this species can be grey, yellow, tan, brown, reddish or black. Dorsal scales may have a hood mark or color patterns. Salt-and-pepper speckles, especially in adult specimens, are seen on the dorsal scales. Indian cobras can easily be identified by their relatively large and quite impressive hood, which they expand when threatened. Many specimens exhibit a hood mark. This hood mark is located at the rear of the Indian cobra's hood. When the hood mark is present, are two circular ocelli patterns connected by a curved line, evoking the image of spectacles.
The Common krait is a highly venomous snake native to the Indian subcontinent. It is a member of the "big four" species, inflicting the most snakebites on humans in Bangladesh and India. The coloration of this snake is generally black or bluish-black, with about 40 thin, white crossbars which may be indistinct or absent anteriorly. Albino specimens can be found, although such cases are extremely rare. The pattern, however, is complete and well defined in the young, which are marked with conspicuous crossbars even anteriorly; in old individuals, the narrow white lines may be found as a series of connected spots, with a prominent spot on the vertebral region. A white preocular spot may be present; the upper lips and the belly are white. Males of this species are typically longer, with proportionately longer tails.
Russell's viper is a venomous snake found in Asia. The species is named for Patrick Russell, a Scottish herpetologist who first described many of India's snakes. In Bengali, this snake is called Chandroborha since it carries lenticular or more precisely lunar marks all over its body. Apart from being a member of the big four snakes in India, Russell's viper is also responsible for causing the most snakebite incidents and deaths among all venomous snakes.
The Indian saw-scaled viper is a venomous snake native to Asia. It is the smallest member of the big four snakes that are responsible for causing the most snakebite cases and deaths. Indian saw-scaled vipers have a pale buff, grayish, reddish, olive or pale brown ground color, overlaid middorsal with a series of variably colored, but mostly whitish spots, edged with dark brown, and separated by lighter interblotch patches. The top of the head has a whitish cruciform or trident pattern and there is a faint stripe running from the eye to the angle of the jaw. Their belly is whitish to pinkish, uniform in color or with brown dots that are either faint or distinct.
7. Fer-de-lance
6. Saw-scaled viper
The Fer-de-lance is a highly venomous pit viper species found from southern Mexico to northern South America. It is the most dangerous snake of Central and South America and is the main cause of fatal snakebite incidents within its range. These snakes can be distinguished by their broad, flattened heads which are set apart from the rest of their bodies. Their head is light to dark brown or even black in color. The underside is most often pale yellow. This species has different patterns and colors on its dorsal and ventral. The ventral side is yellow, cream, or a whitish-gray, with dark blotches that are more frequent closer to the posterior end. Time Stamps
