Depends on whether the question is:

1. Which snake would you least like to take a bite from?
2. Which snake would you least like to handle for routine cage maintenance?
3. Which snake would you least like to have to milk or medicate hands-on?

I'd say a king would be my answer to #1, a big evil Bothrops as #2, and Proatheris or Echis as #3. I %$#@! hate having to go hands on with tiny little evil tempered vipers.

Close contenders for #2 would be Pseudohaje gouldii and an adult wild caught taipan. Proatheris would be another close contender for #1, as would a Gould's.
