black mamba, from kill bill vol II :)~\n\nwell i actually looked it up and 2 sources say it is this inland taipan snake...\n\n1) 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.\n\nBlack mamba actually comes in 11th place :(

Where you live will help people answer your question.\n\nLink below loads slowly but is worth the wait.  In Northeast US, garter snakes and black rat snakes are starting to show up - they are beneficial - they eat rodents.\n\nWhere I live - timber rattlers and copperheads are the only two poisonous snakes.  These snakes would rather escape than confront, so in hot weather, I just pay attention to where I put my hands and feet, so I don't disturb them.

Once upon a time, there was a navajo indian girl who was picking up firewood in the forest. As she was walking back home, she came upon a poisonous snake that lay frozen and injured in the snow. The maiden wasn't sure if she should take the risk of taking the snake in, but after thinking for a moment, she decided to take the snake home and nurse it back to health. As the days passed, the snake recovered, and the day came when the snake was able to go back out into the wild.  As the snake made its way out the door,  the snake passed the girl and bit her in the heart. As the girl lay dying, she asked the snake, "How could you do this to me? Why have you done this to me?" To which the snake replied, "You knew I was a snake."

The poison from the skin of the world's most poisonous known creature-the tiny, 1.5-inch, Golden Poison Frog (Phyllobates terribilis)-kills the monkey.\n\nAn average P. terribilis contains about one milligram of poison, which is enough to kill 10,000 mice-perhaps enough to kill 10 to 20 humans if the poison reaches their bloodstreams.\n\nThis extraordinarily lethal poison (a steroid alkaloid, called batrachotoxin) almost does not occur in nature. We have found this poison only among three poison frogs in Colombia and two poison birds in Papua, New Guinea.\n\nThe yellow frog stores the poison in skin glands, as do most frogs. Due to their poison, frogs taste awful to predators but P. terribilis' poison kills whatever eats it-except for a snake (Liophis epinephelus). This snake is resistant to the frog's poison but not immune.\n\n"We fed one juvenile frog to a snake and the snake showed great distress and was rendered helpless for several hours," says John Daly, chief of the National Health Institute's bioorganic chemistry laboratory.\n\nThe poison frogs are perhaps the only creatures immune to this poison. The poison attacks the sodium channels of the cells. Through the ages, the clever frog has evolved special sodium channels that the poison can not harm.

I hate to be the one to break the news to you, but actually all spiders are poisonous.. even the harmless ones like daddy long legs... look at all the elderly ppl at Okinawa.. you have nothing to be afraid of.. I could find no reference to any species of highly poisonous spider for Okinawa

A snake's poison can only act when it enters the bloodstream of an animal or human being !\nWhen a poisonous snake gets eaten, the venom in its poison glands does not normally come into contact with the eater's bloodstream - and harmlessly gets digested in the stomach and intestines. \n...Only if the eater has exposed sores in the mouth, or open ulcers in its digestive track's inner walls, through which the snake's poison can come in contact with the eater's bloodstream, then the poison will act - provided it has NOT been already neutralised by the digestive secretions within the eater's alimentary canal !

All snakes are dangerous if you don't know what your doing. But alot of water snakes are venomous too so if you don't know what it is stay away from it. If you do know what it is stay away from it. Just stay away from it.

Anacondas are the largest species of boas and are only found in South America. They are generally aquatic, where they do a great deal of their hunting. There are 4 species: the green, yellow, dark spotted, & Bolivian anaconda. The green anaconda is the heaviest species of snake in the world. They've been documented to weigh 550 lbs and possibly more. They are also possibly the longest snakes in the world too, but there's no reliable proof and true giants are scarce. The females are also larger than the males and the young are born live. \n\nPythons are found in Asia, Africa, Australia, South America, and New Guinea. They usually aren't very aquatic, but they can swim well. Some species live strictly in trees. The Reticulated Python is the longest documented species of snake in the world. The record is a specimen killed back in 1912 or so that was 32 ft. 9 inches long. Pythons are also notable because the females incubate their eggs until they hatch. The females lay the eggs and wrap around them and shiver to keep them warm.

Despite it now weighing more than a fraction of an ounce, the Harvestman spider (daddy longlegs) is one of the most deadly organisms. No, it is not able to kill many mammals, but for its size, its venom is more potent than any other venom.

Snakes are immune to their own poisin. So no, you wouldn't die. (Especially after cooking it!)
