i like what you said. and in my opinion the taipan doesn't prove much of a threat even with its venom because it is relatively shy and rare. the king cobra i think would be the most venomous, because with evidence, it is known as the brains of the snake world and isn't afraid to back down from a fight. and it can choose to bite you where it chooses. a 12 ft. snake could bite you strait smack in the chest and you would be dead in a short time without medical help. i agree with you on how dangerous it is according to its size, aggressiveness, how much venom it injects, the physical condition of the victim, and the point of entry of the venom. and of course the toxcitity of the venom. so the question is, if you take different types of venom, injected the same amount at the same location, with the victim in the same physical shape. which would be the most effective? of course you would have to use the different types of toxin for a complete study, however i don't think that kind of experiment will ever happen so im just going to go along with the saying: the most venomous snake is the one that just bit you. in that case, i hope i never have to know which snake is the most venomous.
