Must keep in mind though that there are two completely apposing variables to the comparison of a baby to an adult bite. One is that the baby may have a more toxic venom but the venom yield is so much less that it still normally can't compare to a good envenomation from a good size adult (in most cases). Two is that the younger a venomous snake is it's been found they don't deliver dry bites as often as an adult may. So that could contradict the yield of the larger snake. So to compare the bite of a large adult to a small venomous snake can be a gamble.
