Not only do rodents and humans react completely differently to snake venoms (LD50's), the reaction to the exact same envenomation from one person to the next can be considerably different as well. Additionally, the organic chemical composition and toxicity of the venom of any one snake can vary from bite to bite, making comparisons even more difficult. You may just have to settle with what group of snakes are potentially the more dangerous.
