The 10 most venomous land snakes are a matter of opinion, but they all live in Australia. The inland taipan is generally thought to be in the top 3, along with the common brown snake and the fierce snake, with regards to the level of toxicity. Among these 3, the top snake depends on the measuring stick:
Most aggresive: Taipans
Most # of bites: Common brown snakes
Sheer toxicity: Fierce snakes
King cobras are the longest venomous snakes. (17 feet)
Heaviest venomous snake is the Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake
Black mambas are the fastest land snakes. (Can outrun a human, and is known to actively chase people)

The Inland Taipan(Oxyuranus Microlepidotus), sometimes called the Fierce Snake, is the world's most venomous snake. Try to imagine a venom many times more potent than the King Cobra. The King Cobra on the other hand, grows to be substantially larger than the fierce snake and thus is capable of injecting a larger quantity of venom. Let's suffice it to say that a bite from either one of these snakes will result in a quick and painful death in most cases.

The most poisonous land snake of all is definitely the inland taipan. One bite contains enough toxin to kill 1 million mice. However the king cobra is responsible for far more fatalities as it comes in contact with people more often.

Between the two, you mentioned, I guess it is the king cobra. However, the most poisonous land snake is black mamba.

ACTUALLY WE CONSIDER THE MOST POISONOUS SNAKE AS KING COBRA.BUT REALLY THE MOST POISONOUS SNAKE IN THE WORLD IS "KRAIT." BUT KING COBRA IS FEROCIOUS SNAKE AND KRAIT IS OFFENSIVE.IT STRIKES ONLY WHEN SUM1 DISTURBS THE SNAKE.NORMALLY IT FEARS OF MAN OR ANY ANIMAL.
IF KING COBRA NEEDS 4ML OF ITS POISON TO KILL A MAN IN JUST 5 MINUTES THEN KRAIT NEEDS JUST QUARTER OF KING COBRA'S OR ANY OTHER SNAKE'S VENOM 2 KILL EVEN AN ELEPHANT IN 4 MINUTES AND MAN IN JUST NOT MORE THAN 2 MINUTES.
