The most dangerous snake in the world is the Taipan, in Australia
most venomous LAND snake is the Fierce Snake (Oxyuranus Microlepidotus, inland Taipan)
The most toxic venom is the Beaked Sea Snake (sea).

Monocled cobras, puff adders, saw scaled vipers and Russells vipers all account for many snakebite fatalities, these are the most common that attack people.

Here is the website where you can see pictures of the top 10 deadliest snakes and where they are and statistics.

Snakes send a shiver down my spine......

This question is on here a lot. There is a lot of debate about it. Often the most venomous snake isn't necessarily the one that kills the most people. This is the info that I have.

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 milliliters of venom, which is enough to kill an Asian elephant.

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.

The Inland Taipan is the most venomous snake in the world.
They can bite repeatedly, and the record amount of venom for ONE bite is 110mg. That would kill over 100 people or 250,000 mice.
The australian brownsnake comes in at a close second.

Both king cobra and pit vipers. It's like choosing between HCL and H2SO4 for the strongest acid.
