Many-banded Krait

You’d think by now health insurance coverage would include snakebites but it seems unlikely. Many-banded Krait, or Taiwanese krait or the Chinese krait, is located in central and sourthern China and also Southeast Asia. However not even all those names excuse the fact that this snake is incredibly dangerous. Especially when bites are left untreated, the mortality rate is between 25-35% to 70–100%. Oh, that doesn’t help much, yikes.

Southeast Asia and Indonesia is where you’ll find the Malayan Snake, or Blue Krait. And trust us, you don’t want to find this snake under any circumstance. Why? It contains a venom 16 times more toxic than the Cobra. **Screaming in horror** (Am I the only one screaming? Oh.)
