Eastern Brown Snake
Especially lethal venom is merely an understatement – just a fraction of a bite from an Eastern Brown Snake can kill any adult human. It is the world’s second-most-venomous ground snake, after all. Brown snakes, native to Australia, Papua New Guinea, and Indonesia, are particularly vicious and responsible for about 60 percent of Australia’s snake bite deaths.

Common Lacehead
Common lacehead, or bothrops atrox, is usually found in the tropical lowlands of northern South America. As a species of pit-viper, it’s easily agitated and is generally nocturnal. However it can hunt, as well as climb trees and swim during the day. Needless to say, their venom behaves horribly lethally and rapidly. Nearly all bites lead to temporary or even permanent memory loss, sometimes with medication. It really makes me want to re-think my choices for health insurance coverage.
