I’m old school, so I would give the title to the King cobra. The combination of sheer size and elephant-killing power, come on, it’s the KING!

The way you asked the question- which is the most venomous-
the answer would be:

Largest venom yield ever recorded:
Bothrops Jarararcussu (1530mg)

The most potent venom:
Belcher's Sea Snake

The most potent of all land snakes:
Inland Taipan (Fierce snake)

Snake that kills the most people:
Saw Scale Viper

Fastest snake bite fatality:
Black Mamba (2.5 minutes)

50% fatality even with treatment:
The Malayan Krait
