Throatoyster,
Queensland museum about 10 years ago put together a list of rating the Most dangerous of the Australian snakes....it rated temper, fang length, venom toxicity, venom yield and how many bites per year. Each was out of 5 points ..5 being the worst...the Coastal Taipan Oxyuranus scutellatus topped the list with 21 followed by the Mulga Snake Cannia australis with 16 and I think it was either the Common Death Adder Acanthophis antarcticus or or Eastern Brown Pseudonaja textilis with 15. check out the Queensland Museum website.
Regards,
Scott Eipper.
