Answer 1

Coral snakes are the most venomous snakes in the U.S. They are elapids and are related to cobras and mambas. Rattlers, cottonmouths, and copperheads are all vipers. To the two people who said copperheads are the most venomous, they are actually the mildest of the North American venomous snakes and are almost never fatal. Western diamondback rattlesnakes kill the most people in the U.S. every year.

Answer 2

The only snake that might be called 'short, little, black' and venomous in the US would be a young Cottonmouth or Water Moccasin, but they are not common to see and are very shy.

There are a lot of other small, dark, fast snakes in the US- but none of them are venomous.

In the US, the most venomous snakes are:
- Mojave Green Rattler (LD50= 0.34)
- Coral snakes (LD50=1.3)

Other common US venomous snakes include:
- Eastern Diamondback (LD50=14.6)
- Copperhead, and Cottonmouth (LD50= about 25)

LD50- is the lethal dose to kill 50% of the test subjects. The smaller the number, the more dangerous the venom, The Inland Taipan has an LD50 of an incredible 0.025!

FYI: Venomous vs. Poisonous...
All venoms are poisons. Only a few people worry about 'venomous snake' vs. 'poisonous snake'- even biology and herpetology text books use the term 'poisonous snake' occasionally.

Technically, a venom is a poison that is taken in a way other than by mouth.

If you are going to get that picky about terms, then understand that no reptile 'hibernates'- only mammals can hibernate. Reptiles and other animals 'brumate'.

Answer 3

The proper term is "venomous" not "poisonous". Poisoning is a passive act (like touching poison ivy or eating a monarch butterfly). Envenomation is when the venomous animal actually decides to deliver the venom. That's why a lot of people get bitten by venomous snakes and discover that it was a "dry" bite, that is, the snake did not want to waste its venom on something it could not eat.

Answer 4

Your not from the U.S. are you? I think I remember hearing the Coral Snake is the most poisonous. All the U.S. snakes that are poisonous have diamond shaped heads, so just avoid them :)

Answer 5

Black is ok. The copperhead, wich is 3 shades of tan, and the Rattlesnake are the most deadly in the U.S. But you have to be awfull sick in the first place for a bite to be fatel. But you may have skin problms near the bite after. That help?

Answer 6

Likely the Western Diamondbacked Rattler.

There is also a coral snake.
