Oh and also, I saw an inland taipan on the road coming home from work one night. It was'nt there the next day so it must have made it, or the Eagles got it...

 

[Oxyuranus microlepid]

i thought collets snake yould be on there.....

 

[da_donkey]

Most deadly or most venomous?

There is a differance


donk

 

[jordo]

Try googling "most venomous snakes" you get several sites that list them according to their LD50. Probably more accurate than a bunch of people guessing (no offence).
Plus different snakes produce and inject differing amounts of venom so there will always be conflicting views, LD50 is the most accurate method to go by imo.
