Is that the top 10 Aussie elapids or world wide ?
I don't know much about elapids but I thought the king Cobra , black mamba , or some rattlers
might have been up there.

Australias top venomous
snakes
In 1979, the Commonwealth Serum Laboratories in Australia conducted an extensive
comparative study of the toxicity of most of the Australian medically significant snake
venoms and some venoms from -Australian snakes. Here they used mice which
were subcutaneously injected with the crude venoms. In the early 1980's, Richard
Davis and Peter Mirtschin published the cobra scale, which compared venoms with that of the well
known Indian cobra venom. Cobra venom is assigned the value of 1 and the toxicity
of other venoms are compared to this venom.

Inland Taipan
Oxyuranus microlepidotus
50.0 times greater


Eastern brown snake
Pseudonaja textiles
12.5 times greater


Coastal Taipan
Oxyuranus scutellatus
7.8 times greater

Deadliest? If mean those accountable for the most deaths, it would probably have to be Cobra and Russell's viper near the top of the list.

Thanks for the 'cobra scale' . I've seen that scale before but didn't know what it was
measured against .
So according to that scale , is the Copperhead the same toxicity as a Cobra at 1.0 ?

 

[junglepython2]

Depends if you only look at toxicity or also take into account average venom yield which will change things around. Also those toxicty tests are usually done on mice, humans may well be affected in different ways.

 

[cris]

Has there ever been a list of the top ten most dangerous snakes?

That would be the first ten you annoyed

 

[natrix]

This subject always seems to go haywire .
.....depends on how many deaths it causes or how much venom it expells etc etc .
What I want to understand is , According to the 'Cobra Scale' posted by Mickously ,
Is the Copperhead therefore the same toxicity as the Cobra at 1.0 on the scale ?

Ok with the youtube stuff khagan , but what's that got to do with this subject ?

Well if you watch it maybe youd see? If someone was interested enough to make a topic about it then i thought they might have been interested in watching it, is there a problem with that?

Hi cris if you have pay-tv watch out for Austin Stevens Most Dangerous its on Animal Planet

 

[natrix]

Sorry man , gotta be honest , I didn't view 'em .

 

[krusty]

thats because i dont think any of them are in the top 10 they are all from 11 up.

 

[eladidare]

different properties in their venom...
the LD 50 has only been tested on mice...
if it was tested on humans, id say somethng like the russels viper or king brown would be far further up there in my opinion
