Answer 1

I'll just answer the ones that I have on the top of my head:

longest fangs = not sure

longest snake = Close call between reticulated python and green anaconda. Both snakes have had specimens recorded at over 30 feet, but the authenticity of many of these measurements have been disputed, so there's no real clear-cut winner between the two.

Most venomous = ounce for ounce, the inland taipan.

Highest venom yield = I think this one goes to the Gaboon viper. Not 100% sure though.

Longest venomous snake = king cobra

Fastest = black mamba

Heaviest = The heaviest snake on record was a burmese python -- a 27-footer that weighed in at over 400 pounds.

Cottonmouths are referred to locally as "water moccasins"

Inland taipans are referred to locally as "fierce snakes"

Bothrops is a genus of vipers (Viperidae)

Answer 3

Longest fangs : King Cobra, Gaboon Viper close 2nd.
Longest : Anacondas can grow the longest, some have been reported to have reached over 30 feet in length. The reticulated python is also a large growing snake.
Most venomous : The inland taipan, or fierce snake, of Australia, has the most toxic venom of any snake. It rarely bites anyone as it does not come into contact with people often.
Highest venom yield : Several snakes yield a huge amount of venom. Gaboon viper, puff adder, king cobra, brown snake from Australia, the fer de lance and the black mamba all produce a large venom yield.
Longest venomous snake : King Cobra, can reach over 4 metres.
Fastest snake : Quickest moving is probably the black mamba from Africa, but the death adder (tiny but deadly) is also really fast. Some snakes move fast but strike slow. The black mamba probably is the quickest but the fastest striking snake would probably be a death adder, boomslang, desert sidewinding adder, something very small.
Heaviest snake : Probably anaconda or boa constrictor or python species, since they grow the largest.
The cottonmouth snake is also known as the water moccasin.
The inland taipan is also known as the fierce snake, which belies it's reputation as it is generally not aggressive.
I think the bothrops comes from the elapid family of snakes, these are snakes that can strike back up along their own body easily, they are very agile and can easily bit even if someone has hold of their tail.

Answer 4

From memory, no peeking or searching:

Gaboon viper has the longest fangs.

Reticulated python and Andaconda battle for longest snakes- the longest single speciman is one of these, the other is longer on the average.

Most venomous is the Inland Taipan, although a lot of older lists credit various sea snakes.

Highest venom yield... I'm thinking is the King Cobra, but not as sure about that.

Longest venomous is King Cobra.

Fastest, I believe, is Black Mamba.

Heaviest would be the Andaconda I think.

Cotton mouth is also the Water Moccasin

Inland Taipan is also the Fierce snake

Bothrops sounds SO familiar, but I cannot place it. Dang.

Answer 7

Gaboon viper.

reticulated python.

inland taipan . Its bite can contain enough venom to kill 200,000 mice. The beaked sea snake has the most toxic venom, but is relatively docile, lives where a lot of people won't be exposed to it, and has a small mouth so it is difficult to be bitten by one.

this is a point of debate. some say the inland taipan and other experts say the black mamba.

king cobra

Black mamba they can reach speeds of about 12 miles/hour

anaconda

Water Moccasin

rough scaled snake, fierce snake

pit vipers
