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. 2. The Eastern brown snake might sound tame, but just 1/14,000 of a single ounce can kill you and me. The main areas for its habitat are highly populated areas of Australia and add to that its extreme speeds and aggression, its seriously bad news. Even juveniles can kill a human. The venom contains both neurotoxins and blood coagulants. Fortunately for humans, less than half of bites contain venom and they prefer not to bite if at all possible. They react only to movement, so stand very still if you ever encounter one in the wild 3. The blue krait is the most deadly of its species and by a long way too.

The toxins disrupt nerve signals and symptoms can include nausea, vomiting, headaches, diarrhea, dizziness and severe muscle decay 8.The Chain Viper species are quick tempered and generally nocturnal and are also very fast. Most of these species have venom that cause symptoms that begin with pain at the site of the bite, immediately followed by swelling of the affected extremity.
