  • How much danger do you think you'd be in if this snake bit you?
  • Most of us have no idea.
  • On one hand, its bite might just leave us with a simple flesh wound.
  • Or we could be dead in a matter of minutes.
  • Today, we're ranking some of the deadliest snake species in the world, separating them on a tier list.
  • Each snake will fall into one of the following categories.
  • Walk it off, ask Dr. Google, ask a real doctor, rush to the hospital, or say your prayers.
  • Pay attention, because I don't want to be dramatic, but it could be the difference between life and death.
  • Let's begin our ranking with the colorful coral snake, found in the forests and grasslands of the southern United States and parts of South America.
  • The coral can reach lengths of over one meter, and it's painted vibrant hues of red, yellow, and black, creating a mesmerizing pattern.
  • This one is going straight to Ask Dr. Google.
  • You'll see why.
  • First of all, encounters with this snake are extremely rare, as they're pretty reclusive and they prefer to flee rather than confront you.
  • And when they do attack, corals have to chew on you to inject their venom, so their bite hardly ever results in death.
  • Their venom can take up to thirteen hours before it starts to affect you, but then it can be life threatening.
  • you may lose the ability to breathe.
  • That being said, encounters with these snakes are so rare that we'll place them in a category where finding information online combined with medical attention, if needed, is the recommended approach.
  • Okay, now we take you down under to meet one of the most dangerous snakes on the planet, the eastern brown snake.
  • They can be found from the sun drenched suburbs to the rural expanses of eastern Australia.
  • The eastern brown snake grows to about two meters and has a slim build.
  • It's colored a variety of earth tones, ranging from light brown to almost inky black, and its small fangs will inject around four milligrams of venom on average.
  • Doesn't sound like a lot, right?
  • Well, you don't need that much to be lethal.
  • Their venom contains powerful toxins that affect your nervous system, heart, and liver.
  • It will also make your blood coagulate, causing strokes.
  • So every bite is a potential death sentence.
  • That's why we're placing the Eastern Brown in our deadliest category.
  • Say your prayers.
  • This serpent alone is responsible for approximately sixty percent of snakebite deaths in Australia.
  • A lot of those deadly bites happen when people try to kill the snakes, so if you see one, don't try to pick a fight.
  • Just keep your distance.
  • Alright, next on our list, not just a type of snake, but a group of species that spread from North to South America.
  • Known for their chilling warning sound, rattlesnakes are as fascinating as they are feared.
  • Some can grow to two and a half meters.
  • Most of them are green or light brown with diamond blotches.
  • We're going to put these snakes on our Ask a Real Doctor tier.
  • While a rattlesnake's bite delivers venom that can cause severe tissue damage, swelling, and pain, it's not necessarily a death sentence.
  • Thanks to advances in medical science, anti venom treatments are highly effective, drastically reducing the chance of serious complications or death.
  • The best survival tip is to stop in your tracks if you hear that distinctive rattle.
  • This snake is not looking for a fight, it's asking for space.
  • Slowly back away and you can both go your separate ways unharmed.
  • All right, now we're venturing into the heart of Sub Saharan Africa to meet the Gaboon Viper.
  • Their bodies are light and dark brown, with purple diamonds and stripes along their back.
  • They can grow to a length of nearly two meters, and their five centimeter fangs are the longest of any venomous snake.
  • And they're capable of delivering a massive dose of venom in a single bite.
  • But this snake's gentle nature and the effectiveness of medical treatment for its bite place it firmly in the ask a real doctor tier.
  • An encounter with this elusive viper is pretty uncommon, and bites are even more rare.
  • Most incidents occur when the snake is accidentally disturbed by humans, so make sure not to provoke it.
  • Its venom is a potent cocktail that attacks your cells, damages your tissues, and causes swelling.
  • Okay, next we have the garter snake, a misunderstood critter often spotted in backyards and gardens across North and Central America.
  • The garter is small and thin, but can reach up to one meter in length.
  • It has a series of stripes that run the length of its body.
  • The stripes will vary in color, often blending in perfectly with their surroundings.
  • The category for this snake is gonna be walk it off.
  • Venomous might sound alarming, but in the case of the garter snake, it's more of a technicality than a threat.
  • Their venom is so mild that it poses no danger to humans.
  • At most, a bite from a garter snake might leave you with a bit of an itching or slight swelling.
  • Just wash the area with soap and water and you'll be fine.
  • And the next time you spot a garter snake slithering through your garden, give it a nod of thanks for its pest control efforts.
  • Okay, back to Australia, this time the desert regions of the outback where the inland Taipan makes its home.
  • Reaching an average length of two meters, its light brown body seamlessly camouflages into the desert landscape.
  • The Inland Taipan earns its spot on the Say Your Prayers tier, not through its body count, but through the sheer potency of its venom.
  • It holds the crown as the most venomous snake on the planet.
  • The poison from a single bite of this snake is enough to kill one hundred adults.
  • The venom is a cocktail designed to immobilize and overwhelm its prey in minutes.
  • It spreads quickly, causing headache, vomiting, and paralysis.
  • Luckily, this shy reptile is pretty chill and rarely seen in its dusty homeland.
  • But in the unlikely event of a bite, it's crucial to seek medical attention immediately.
  • Anti venom treatment is remarkably effective if administered promptly.
  • Okay, the last snake on our list is a stealthy menace that lurks in the forests and farmland of South Asia, the common krait.
  • With a slim, bluish black body ringed with white bands, this snake blends into the night and attacks silently.
  • Some species can reach up to two meters, but the average length of a common krait is about one meter.
  • That doesn't make it any less dangerous, and we have to place this one on the rush to the hospital tier.
  • The venom of the common krait is a potent neurotoxin that causes muscle paralysis, leading to respiratory failure.
  • If left untreated, seventy to eighty percent of krait bites result in death.
  • The scary thing is, is the bite is initially painless.
  • Some victims sleep through a bite and wake up in a critical, sometimes irreversible medical emergency.
  • In areas where the common crate is known to roam, precaution is key.
  • Set your sleeping area up off the ground and enclose sleeping spaces within mosquito nets to make a barrier against these nocturnal visitors.
  • If you think you've been bitten by a krait, the absence of pain does not mean you're safe.
  • Get medical attention immediately.
  • Antivenom can mean the difference between life and death.
  • Did you find the snakes on this list scary?
  • Well, then a one ton Titanoboa would have you petrified.
