The current information on the maximum recorded venom yield that I could assertain was for the King Brown Snake at 1300 mg.



Though Jims 1900 mg. has been discussed before and is nothing short of astonishing...



I've never seen anything state that Gaboons ever held a highest recorded venom yield... Most of what I've seen published is usually between 300-500mg... I think we just THINK they should produce the most...



Obviously, Lachesis, Bothrops, Ophiophagus are big runners too.



I think your question has been answered pretty accurately from most of the previous posts... I think your information is/was wrong about the Gaboons..



Best Regards,
