A venomous snake have venoms delivered through fangs in its mouth to immobilize or kill its prey.Venomous snakes that use heomotoxins usually have their fangs to secrete the venom in the front of their mouths, making it easier for them to inject the venom into their victims. \n\nNot all snakes that produce venom have injecting fangs. Vipers and cobras are the two primary families of injecting venomous snakes. These snake have a venom gland that feeds directly into their completely hollow fang, which has a tiny hole near the tip. This gland is called the Duvernoy's gland. Venom is forced out of the hole near the tip of the fang, into the flesh of the snake's prey when it bites.\n\nSnake venom is saliva, a highly modified saliva, and is produced by modified saliva glands. The proteinaceous nature of snake venom was established by Napoleon Bonaparte's brother, Lucien in 1843. Venoms are rich in hydrolithic enzymes, a complex mix of polypeptides, nucleases, peptidases, etc., which help digest the snake's prey.♥

I did some research for you.  I'm just going to give you the info I found and you can categorize it as you'd like.\nI had some problems with the shark teeth because there are VERY many different kinds of sharks out there, but you specified on the Cobra for the fangs.  Anyways...here the info:\n\nCobra Fangs:\n- fixed on the upper jaw\n- nearly hollow to allow venom to escape\n- have 2 of them\n- grow up to 0.5 inches\n- replaced when the snake sheds it's skin\n- angled back into the snakes mouth\n\nShark Teeth:\n\n- not attached to jaw; embedded in flesh\n- multiple rows\n- new teeth grow continuously\n- lower teeth hold prey; upper cut into prey\n- grow up to 3 inches\n- all the teeth in the mouth are the same, only different sizes\n\n----------------------------------\n\nHope this will be of some help you to.  If you need sources, we could both be in trouble because I didn't keep track of them.  But if you really NEED them, I could probably find them for you.\n\nLet me know if you need anything else! :)

1) Fierce Snake or Inland Taipan (Oxyuranus microlepidotus ), Australia. The most toxic venom of any snake. Maximum yield recorded (for one bite) is 110mg. That would porbably be enough to kill over 100 people or 250,000 mice. These rare snakes are vitually unknown in collections outside of Australia.\n2) Australian Brown Snake (Pseudonaja textilis ), Australia. One 1/14,000 of an ounce of this vemon is enough to kill a person. \n3) Malayan Krait (Bungarus candidus ), Southeast Asia and Indonesia. 50% of the bites from this snake are fatal even with the use of antivenin treatment. \n4) Taipan (Oxyuranus scutellatus ), Australia. The venom delivered in a single Taipan bite is enough to kill up to 12,000 guinea pigs. \n5) Tiger Snake (Notechis scutatus ), Australia. \n6) Beaked Sea Snake (Enhydrina schistosa ), South Asian waters Arabian Sea to Coral Sea..\n7) Saw Scaled Viper (Echis carinatus ), Middle East Asia.\n8) Coral Snake (Micrurus fulvius ), North America.\n9) Boomslang (Dispholidus typus ), Africa. \n10) Death Adder (Acanthopis antarcticus ), Australia and New Guinea. \n11) Black Mamba, both species of Green Mambas, and the Mojave Rattlesnake.

Timber Rattlesnake\n(Crotalus horridus)\n\nMeasuring from 3-4.5 feet (91-137 cm) or more in length, the timber rattlesnake is the largest venomous snake in New York. The record length is 74 ½ inches (189 cm). Timber rattlers impress one as being very stocky; they are large snakes. Despite their size, cryptic coloration allows them to be easily concealed. Two color patterns are commonly found: a yellow phase, which has black or dark brown crossbands on a lighter background color of yellow, brown or gray, and a black phase, which has dark crossbands on a dark background. Black or dark brown stippling also occurs to varying degrees, to the extent that some individuals appear all black. Scales are ridged, giving this rattlesnake a rough-skinned appearance. The timber rattler has a broadly triangular head with many small scales on the crown of the head bordered by a few large scales, unlike the massasauga rattlesnake which has nine large scales on the top of the head.\n\nLike other members of the pit-viper family, the timber rattlesnake has a temperature- sensitive opening, or pit, on either side of the face between and a little below the eye and nostril. This sensory organ is used to detect prey and potential predators. Another feature distinctive of rattlesnakes is the rattle itself. This structure is made of loosely attached horny segments. A new segment is added each time the snake sheds. When vibrated, the rattle makes a buzzing sound characteristic of a disturbed rattlesnake.\n\nFor more info go to http://www.dec.state.ny.us/website/dfwmr/wildlife/endspec/tirafs.html

Taipans are large (up to 3 metres in length), fast, highly venomous Australian snakes, one of which, the Fierce Snake, has the most toxic venom of any land species worldwide. The name derives from that of the Thaypan tribe of Aboriginal people of central Cape York Peninsula, Queensland, Australia.\n\nThere exist two species: the Common Taipan, and the less common Fierce Snake (also known as Inland Taipan and Small-Scaled Snake) (Oxyuranus microlepidotus). The Common Taipan is broken up into two subspecies, the mainland Coastal Taipan (Oxyuranus scutellatus scutellatus) and the Papuan Taipan (Oxyuranus scutellatus canni) which is native to the southern coast of Papua New Guinea. Their diet consists primarily of small rodents, especially rats.\n\nThe Coastal Taipan is usually pale to dark brown in colour, fading to a lateral cream, although juveniles are lighter in colour. The Papuan Taipan is black or purplish-gray, with a copper-coloured stripe on its back.\n\nIts the Inland Tapian

My daughter had a bite like that. I took her to the doc and he said it was from an (((((EARWIG))))) which is a bug that lives in trees and has pinchers in the front AND the back of the body so it can bite it's victem twice at the same time. The doc took a skalpel and cut open the pimple looking part of the bite to release the (((((POISON))))) and she was fine. A few weeks later I got bit on my leg by one while I was sleeping and I skipped the doc and lanced it myself. I have two little scars where it had bit me but I got the poison out and I'm fine too. The poison is a yellow/green color. Make sure you get it ALL out or you WILL have to go see a doc. Lance it till you see plain red blood without the yellow/green color.

The vast majority of spiders have a venom so weak it is completely and totally harmless to human beings. It is venom designed for killing only other bugs about their own size and nothing larger in most cases. In the United States the spiders you generally worry about are the brown recluse spider and the black widow spider. In Australia you would be worried about Sydney Funnelweb Spider. If it was not black and did not have an hourglass red symbol on its back I would not be too worried.\n\nAs was previously suggested don't touch it, just remove the sheets at the corners for washing and change to a fresh set of linens. The blood of spiders is not poisonous. Just the venom is very small venom glands which is not a contact poison but a venom that must be injected into the bloodstream to have any effect, generally through the fangs.

Drve the back roads at night. Rattlesnakes are nocturnal hunters. We used to do this in San Angelo Tx, and sell them to a lab that makes antivenin for snakebites. They don't kill 'em, just milk 'em for their venom. Don't try to capture one of these unless you really know what you are doing. Things can go bad in a hurry.

More imformation would deffinently help. It is pretty much impossible to tell from the info you gave. What do you mean octagon spider? Does that refer to the web? Some helpful info would be the color, size, and shape of the spider, the shape, size, and location of the web, and where you found the spider (state, country, ect.). Any other information would also help. \n\nAnother thing to consider is that all spiders (other than a small, rare family) have venom. It is unlikely that they are very harmful, but again, I would need more information to say that for sure. Try a field guide (library is a good place to look) and see if you can find what kind it is, then research that one. If you want, post some more info here, and I will try to find it.

A cobra is much more poisonous than a rattlesnake. If a rattlesnake bites you, you have a pretty good chance of living through it without any medical attention, although it is advisable to get medical attention.\nIf you are bitten by a cobra, medical attention and antivenom are necessary immediately.\nA bit of advice. First aid used to recommend the application of a tournquet between the bitten extremety  and the heart plus making an X incision 1/4 inch long and deep on the fang punctures. This is not a good idea as the incisions can cause more damage than the snake bite. The suction cups in a snakebite kit are good for sucking out the poison. If you try sucking it out by mouth, if you have a sore or some wound in the mouth, you can get poisoned, too.\n Application of an elastic bandage over the bite helps to prevent the poison from spreading through the body. Keeping calm is also a good idea as if the bitten person gets excited, the pulse rate goes up spreading the poison at a much more rapid pace.\nAbout 20 or so years ago, it was thought that electric shock, such as from a taser, would destroy the toxicity of the poison. I haven't heard anything about that for many years, so I don't think it worked very well.\nBe cautious around areas where there are known to be snakes, know what their habitat is and when they are likely to be about. \nIn the spring and late summer here in the northern U.S., the snakes shed their skin. At that time, they are the most dangerous because they can't see well.

Costa Rica has many species of snakes, many of them poisonous, but never heard of one called "fur de lance". Is it french for "spear fury" or something like that?\n\nI believe you may be talking about the Bothrops Asper, which causes most of the snake bite victims in Costa Rica, but it is commonly known as TERCIOPELO (velvet), not known as fur de lance. Nasty snake, very aggresive and poisonous.
