in toxicity terms the inland taipan is the most venomous snake on the planet, but its a shy snake and lives in the outback so not many people get bitten, I believe only a handful of people have been bitten and most in captive collections, if you were to get bitten out in there natural habitat you would almost certainly be dead.

really theres a whole load of snakes that if you were to get bitten and you were in the middle of their natural habitat you would be dead including the bushmaster.

I'm not too sure how the conclusion is reached, but after checking a few top 10 lists ... Inland Taipan / Fierce snake is still coming out tops ... must be on venom potency though im thinking ....

its more than likely done on LD50 in which case the inland taipan easily comes out on top

The LD50 is great if you are a mouse vet treating snakebit mice often. Other than that, its merely a rough estimate.

Take a Boomslang. A yield offers about 7mg. A tenth of a mamba's yield. Yet a single drop is enough to kill.
