Water Pythons and Olives can be Nasty. But in my experience, You get good ones aswell!!!! You just have to handle them heaps.

Most notorious i suppose would be the Brown's, Taipan, Rough-scaled Snake, Brown Tree Snake, Hoplocephalus sp., and i guess Tigers. Obviously it depends on the individual animal though. But off the top of my head i'd say they are the most 'notorious'. Maybe throw in Water Pythons also for good measure

my water python "bitey" is the most ferocious snake i have ever encountered. when he was a baby he could actually launch his entire body off the floor when striking.
As for venomous, I have never met a friendly brown snake.

no one has ever worked out any list 100% accurate. Even the 10 deadlist venomous snakes in the world list is wrong.

Yeah your right there is a lot of difference , all you can offer is personal opinion. No one has ever sat down with all the species to work it out.
The ones that were worked out are inaccurate as when this was done, some were done by different methods, making the list inaccurate.

IMO-Aggressive. None of them are. You have chosen the wrong word.
I walk into a pub and go up and stand in half a dozen peoples faces, see who hits me first. Who is the most aggressive?

You got more chance of being bitten by a dog than a snake!

It seems very clear to me that there are a lot of people out there who still do not realise that there is a huge difference in temperament between the water pythons found from theTop end of N.T and the Queensland form.
