Sea snakes
2006-11-02 04:17:55 · answer #1 · answered by b T 4 · 1⤊ 0⤋
Some say sea snakes, but it is generally considered to be the inland taipan ("fierce snake") of Australia. However they are rarely encountered so few deaths have occured. In terms of deaths, cobras and the Russell's viper are the most dangerous, because they are found in areas frequented by a large number of people, and are encountered/accidentally stepped on much more often.
P.S. FYI, it's venomous, not poisonous... Venom is enzyme based and is injected. Poison is ingested.

Sea snakes are the most poisonous, drop for drop. However the black mamba has the most venom and is also up there on the most poisonous list. Out of all the sea snakes, I believe the olive snake is the most poisonous.

Rattlesnakes, Cobras and Green Mambas. I heard Rattlesnakes were not as poisonous as Cobras but were faster so you are more apt to die from it.
