Heres a list of the 11 most deadliest snakes in the world:
1) Fierce Snake or Inland Taipan (Oxyuranus microlepidotus ), Australia. The most toxic venom of any snake. Maximum yield recorded (for one bite) is 110mg. That would porbably be enough to kill over 100 people or 250,000 mice. These rare snakes are vitually unknown in collections outside of Australia.
2) Australian Brown Snake (Pseudonaja textilis ), Australia. One 1/14,000 of an ounce of this vemon is enough to kill a person.
3) Malayan Krait (Bungarus candidus ), Southeast Asia and Indonesia. 50% of the bites from this snake are fatal even with the use of antivenin treatment.
4) Taipan (Oxyuranus scutellatus ), Australia. The venom delivered in a single Taipan bite is enough to kill up to 12,000 guinea pigs.
5) Tiger Snake (Notechis scutatus ), Australia.
6) Beaked Sea Snake (Enhydrina schistosa ), South Asian waters Arabian Sea to Coral Sea..
7) Saw Scaled Viper (Echis carinatus ), Middle East Asia.
8) Coral Snake (Micrurus fulvius ), North America.
9) Boomslang (Dispholidus typus ), Africa.
10) Death Adder (Acanthopis antarcticus ), Australia and New Guinea.
11) Black Mamba, both species of Green Mambas, and the Mojave Rattlesnake
Isnt it messed up that most of them are found in Australia??

THE MOST VENOMOUS SNAKE IN THE WORLD
NAME: Expecteria Trouserius" (Trouser Snake).
LOCATION: Throughout the world.
DESCRIPTION: Varying from pink to black. Fang-less with a highly venomous spit.
Size varies from 3 to 12 inches, depending on its mood & sub-species.
SYMPTOMS: This snake attacks mainly women in the lower front abdomen, resultingin an inconspicuous bump. Then a severe swelling followed by excruciating pain after nine months. The attack is not usually fatal. It has been known to attack men in the rear lower abdomen, resulting in an incurable disease and consequent death.
HABITAT: Usually found in bedrooms, but has been known to appear in the most unusual places.
ANTIDOTE: Various types of vaccine available for women. However, once the venom is injected into the body only drastic measures will ensure complete recovery. There is no known antidote for men.
WHAT TO DO WHEN ATTACKED
TORNIQUE: Do not apply a tornique as the venom is too deep in the body to be affected.
CUTTING THE WOUND: This would be completely unnecessary and ineffective as the bleeding will stop after a few weeks anyhow.
SUCKING THE WOUND: This method is the most popular with the victim, but so far has not been reported to have led to any success.
MILKING THE SNAKE:
1. Place four fingers of the right hand around the neck of the reptile, withthe thumb in the front.
2. Grip firmly and move the hand in an upwards and downwards motion.
3. This will result in the snake becoming highly aggressive and start spitting.
4. The time taken for this milking process depends entirely on the milker and the last time the snake attacked.
5. Once milked the snake should be harmless for about 20 minutes.
CONCLUSION
This snake, although it is very aggressive and active, is not necessarily a vermin, and treated with the right respect, makes a wonderful pet.

'Deadliest' would have to be the snake that has killed the most people. That would be one of the 'Big Four':
* Indian cobra, Naja naja,
* Common krait, Bungarus caeruleus
* Russell's viper, Daboia russelii.
* Saw-scaled viper, Echis carinatus.
These snakes account for a huge number of human deaths as they all live near people, bite readily, and have a very toxic venom.
Black mambas have big reps, but do not bite that many people, nor do they have an especially toxic venom compared to other snakes.
King cobras have huge loads of rather mild venom, and are also rare and shy- they do not account for many fatalities.
The Inland Taipan (Fierce Snake) has the most toxic venom of the land snakes, and many other species (such those listed earlier) also have high toxicity- but few of them cause many bites.

Depends what you mean. Most venomous or what ones kills the most people.
Most venomous snake: The Hook-nosed seasnake (Enhydrina schistosa) from The Perisan Gulf to Southern Asia is considered to be the most poisonous. 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.
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.

it is very very hard to say because of the various factors.
but in my opinion it is the King Cobra.
many will say it is the Black Mamba but I seriously think the King Cobra would eat the mamba for lunch. The King Cobra eats pythons! very large pythons!
this snake is imune to other snakes' venom. How will the mamba kill it ?
it is the largest venomous snake. It is almost 6 meters in some cases and they are very fast. its venom is not the most powerfull but it has enough to kill me in 15 minutes or less, take out a group of 20 humans and even drop a elephant. DEADLY...

I study Steve Irwins, Jeff Corbin's and other expert's documentaries and I've learned that the black mamba is highly dangerous as the rattler among other snakes. A black mamba can bring down a cow in no time. As I learn more about the various types of snakes, I have found out that any venomous snake is highly dangerous for any human. So it's really best to leave the snakes to the experts. I've handled a variety of snakes, the longest being 11½ ft, 125 lb. Boa. 7½ ft rat snake, a rattler with his 14 rattlers and a button. Most snakes will go the opposite way when disturbed, unless stepped on, but a black mamba will attack.
As I said before, leave them to the experts!

If by deadliest you mean most venomous, the inland taipan, or some species of sea snake... If by deadliest you mean causes the most deaths, then the russel's viper and various cobra species (and perhaps to some extent the black mamba that everyone's always talking about) due to their constant proximity to humans.
