Totally identify with ‘ophiophobia’ fear of snakes or ‘herpetophobia’, fear of reptiles.
Here’s top 10 most dangerous, deadly and lethal snakes, around us:

- Inland Taipan – series of rapid accurate strikes, injecting extremely toxic venom
- Philippines Cobra – deadly spitting cobra, kill within 30 minutes, vicious venom
- Death Adder – Australian, covers itself with leaves, strikes quickly, injecting venom
- Eastern Brown Snake – lethal dose of toxins. Native to Australia and Indonesia

- Tiger Snake – Australian species, most dreaded with highly venomous bites
- Black Mamba – fast, nervous, lethally venomous, aggressive, mostly in Africa
- Indian Cobra – spits venom and bites shut down nervous systems within 1 hour
- Rattlesnake – fatal venom, very tough to treat, mainly in USA, Mexico, Australia
These snakes issues a death sentence within 30 minutes of a bite! Careful…
Most deaths are due to fatal shut downs or interruptions in transmission of nerve signals, crippling our nervous and respiratory systems.
Mostly, these guys are really harmless, unless threatened or disturbed. Ignorance and lack of education, is one of the most common reasons why we fear snakes..
