Eastern Brown Snake
Especially lethal venom is merely an understatement – just a fraction of a bite from an Eastern Brown Snake can kill any adult human. After all, it is the second-most-venomous land snake in the world. Native to Australia, Papua New Guinea, and Indonesia – brown snakes are highly aggressive and account for around 60% of snake bite deaths in Australia.

Common Lacehead
Common lacehead, or bothrops atrox, is usually found in the tropical lowlands of northern South America. As a species of pit-viper, it’s easily agitated and is generally nocturnal. However it can hunt throughout the day as well as climb trees and swim. Needless to say, their venom is terribly lethal and fast acting. Even with treatment, almost all bites lead to temporary or sometimes permanent memory loss. Really makes me want to re-think my health insurance coverage options.
