You people either have no idea how big a croc is, or you have no idea how small a dragon or snake is.
A saltwater crocodile is larger, by a huge margin.
Saltie: Maximum weight >1000kg
Komodo dragon: Maximum weight 166kg.
Snakes: Don't make me laugh.

Lachesis is a genus of highly venomous pit vipers found in the remote, forested areas in Central and South America. This genus, also referred to as the bushmasters, currently contains four species.
Adults bushmasters vary in length from two to 2½ metres (seven to eight feet) and some individuals may reach three metres (10 ft). The largest known adult was just under 3.65m (12'), making the bushmaster the longest venomous snake in the Western Hemisphere. The bushmaster is also the longest viper, though not the heaviest (it is surpassed by the Gaboon viper and the Eastern diamondback rattlesnake). Bushmasters feed exclusively on small mammals, and, despite their size, feed on animals considerably smaller than they are (in contrast to most other snakes, which are known to consume prey larger than themselves).
Lachesis is the only neo-tropical pit viper that lays eggs: about a dozen in the average clutch. The female is reported to remain with the eggs during incubation and may aggressively defend the nest if approached. The hatchlings average 30 cm (12 in.) in length and are more colorful than the adults

Alive, probably the comodo dragon, I agree.
Dead long ago, probably grass eater dinosaures that came to several tons! (check "walking with Dinosaures", BBC)
