Venomous Snakes Of Asia

Which is the most venomus snake in the world?

I love when people give random answers without really knowing the correct one

Most venomous snake: The Hook-nosed seasnake (Enhydrina schistosa) from The Perisan Gulf to Southern Asia is considered to be the most venomous. Its venom is estimated to be 100 times more potent than the King Cobra. But few people are killed by it because like most seasnakes, it is shy and gentle and seldom bites, even when handled by people.
The most venomous land snake is the Inland Taipan (Oxyuranus microlepidotus) from Australia

Deadliest snake: The King Cobra (Ophiophagus hannah) from India eastward to Vietnam, southern China, and the Philippines, and Southeast Asia through Malaysia and Indonesia. It is also considered the longest venomous snake, averaging 3m with the longest verified length at 5.58m. Although its venom may not be as toxic as the hook-nosed seasnake, the King Cobra can inject a larger quantity of venom. Its glands can contain about 6 millilitres of venom, which is enough to kill an Asian elephant.

Which is the most venomous snake in the world?

On land : Fierce Snake or Inland TaipanIt has the most toxic venom of any land snake in the world. The maximum yield recorded for one bite is 110mg, enough to kill about 100 humans, or 250,000 mice! With an LD/50 of 0.03mg/kg, it is 10 times as venomous as the Mojave Rattlesnake, and 50 times more than the common Cobra. Fortunately, the Inland Taipan is not particularly aggressive and is rarely encountered by humans in the wild. No fatalities have ever been recorded, though it could potentially kill an adult human within 45 minutes.On water: Belcher’s Sea SnakeThe most venomous snake known in the world, a few milligrams is strong enough to kill 1000 people! Less than 1/4 of bites will contain venom, and they are relatively docile. Fisherman are usually the victims of these bites, as they encounter the species when they pull nets from the ocean. Found throughout waters off South East Asia and Northern Australia.

Is There any country with none venomous snakes, well ones that if bitten can't kill you? In Asia or Africa?

There are some remote island nations, such as Fiji and Samoa, that have no venomous snakes, but that is about it. Some countries, like New Zealand, Ireland and Iceland, have no snakes at all, venomous or non-venomous. Madagascar, since it has been isolated from Africa and any other land mass for tens of millions of years, only have some moderately venomous rear-fanged snakes, none that has a bite that is life-threatening.

Are there any snakes native to Asia whose venom paralyzes but doesn't kill?

If there is i would guess the only guy who would know is bryan fry. I have not heard of such a snake. Usually snake venom is designed to kill. And usually is more effective on its more common prey. This reminds me of a movie sequence where spider venom was used to cause paralyzes only but i think that was movie magic. Most venoms that cause paralyzes usually also paralyze the respiratory system. So while the venom itself doesnt kill you, the fact you cant inflate your lungs means you die from asphyxiation.

What venomous snake can kill a mongoose?

Arguably any venomous snake assuming the Mongoose is bitten and the snake is able to unload a lethal dose. If you mean which snake(s) are quick enough with their strike to land a bite, most pit vipers. I worked at a large reptile farm one summer (many years ago). One of the demonstrations was having a snake handler touch a Cobra on the top of the head as well as waving his hand in front of the snake. The strike of a cobra is relatively slow (especially compared to a rattlesnake). The mongoose is quick enough to jump out of the way to avoid this strike. The mongoose will continue to provoke strikes until the cobra is so fatigued it becomes easy prey for the mongoose. Rattlesnakes are a whole different proposition. If there were rattlesnakes in Asia, the mongoose population would be significantly reduced ( not to mention the number snake charmers). The strike of a cobra is slow enough to easily react to and avoid ("snake charmers" also typically keep their body parts just out of the snakes effective range). Rattlesnake strikes are to fast for humans to avoid. Maybe one of the reasons there aren't a lot of snake charmers using pit vipers. Having said that, I would think a crafty mongoose might win an encounter with a Diamondback once in a while (I have seen Roadrunners kill small rattlesnakes on more than one occasion). However, if there was a bet to be placed, my money is on the rattlesnake.

Which is the most poisonous between snakes and spiders?

Which is the most poisonous between snakes and spiders?I think you mean, “Which is the most venomous between snakes and spiders?” There is a BIG difference. Poisonous means if you bite it, you get sick. Venomous means if it bites you, you get sick. And, believe it or not, there are some snakes that are poisonous and venomous!(For instance, the tiger keelback snake, in Asia, eats poisonous frogs. It stores the poison in glands so if animals bit it, they can be poisoned. It also has venom, so when it bites, it can use that venom on its target.)Here’s a few details, but snakes, generally, will be more venomous. Remember, though, you can’t draw a direct comparison. For instance, a copperhead snake’s venom is not nearly as potent as a rattlesnake’s venom. If you were to rank venom an an overall scale, I’m sure you’ll find spiders with venom that’s stronger than a copperhead’s venom but not as strong as a rattlesnake’s venom.Venom varies from species to species. In spiders, the bite of a brown recluse is quite different than the bite of a black widow. A brown recluse bite can result in decaying and rotting skin, for example. The Sydney Funnel Spider has proven lethal, but there have been no deaths from their bite since 1980, when antivenin was developed. People have also died from the bite of the Brazilian Wandering Spider. While I haven’t spent much time keeping up with spiders, it seems to me, as I read about them now, that there are spiders known to have venom that has killed, but that antivenin seems to do a good job.For snakes, generally the black mamba is considered the most venomous or one of the most venomous. They attack repeatedly, so it’s often not a matter of a single bite, but repeated bites, each with venom.When you look over lists of most venomous spiders or snakes, you’ll generally see different opinions or different orders. Sometimes a snake like the king cobra is put on the top of the list, other times it’s the black mamba.If you’re interested in venomous snakes, look up Snake Island, which is off the coast of Brazil. It’s filled with more snakes per square foot than any place in the world and they’re quite deadly. It’s such a dangerous place, you can only legally go there with permission of the Brazilian government. They send a naval ship out once a year to change the batteries in the lighthouse and check things out. Other times people get permission to go for scientific research.
