When I get older I want to study Herpetology. How I got interested was this:I saw Steve do a preety dam good job so I thought I should study Herpetology.) Can some-one list down the worlds 15 most deadliest snakes and the worlds 15 biggest snakes PLEASE!!!!! ... I adore snakes. When I get older I want to study Herpetology.

I think it definitely deserves a mention on this list.

More people need to do that work for themselves. However, since you can't give us any publication data, it doesn't matter if you did the greatest study of all time. If the public can't access your data, experimental design, and results, then it is null and void--sort of. I don't know you, and therefore have no reason to believe anything that you tell me, unless I can verify that you are telling the truth. So, since you can't provide me with literature, answer me this--Does the blurb on this in the Guiness Book of World Records, 2009 (or 2010, whichever year it is for) give specifics about who performed these experiments or at least how they were performed? If so, then your answer to this question becomes more substantiated and credible. As far as which snake I believe to be the most deadly--I don't know. If we stricktly speak of potency of venom per cc, then it is a really tough question to answer, because you would need to perform these tests with many different species, and use at least 50 snakes of each species and maybe three age categories of each species as well, so like 15 hatchlings (5 years old) of each species. An adequate study just has not been done. You say you did a study, but how many individuals of eac species did you use? And what are all of the species that you used? If we are talking about DEADLY, taking into account potency, venom delivered, aggression, and human contact probability, then I would definitely have to lean towards the black mamba, realizing that the categories are relative and somewhat speculative, such as aggression. Black Mamba Wins,
