Inland Taipan

When it comes to the most lethal venom that snakes can produce, the Inland Taipan consistently wins. Perhaps if health insurance coverage was available, that would be a reason to rejoice. A bite containing a combination of lipoxin and neurotoxin can cause blood hemorrhaging, restricted breathing, paralysis, and severe muscle damage. The Inland Taipan, which is found primarily in inland Australia, is shy, reclusive, and almost never attacks. However, if it chooses to attack, death can occur in as little as 30 to 45 minutes if you are not treated quickly.

Eastern Brown Snake

Lethal venom is an understatement in this case; only a fraction of a bite from an Eastern Brown Snake can kill an adult human. After all, it is the world’s second most venomous land snake. Brown snakes, which are native to Australia, Papua New Guinea, and Indonesia, are extremely aggressive and account for roughly 60% of all snakebite deaths in Australia.
