Tiger Snake

Tiger snakes are medium-sized snakes that can reach a maximum length of 4 feet. They can be found all over Tasmania and southern Australia. It got its name from the black and gold stripes on its body. If you are bitten by one of these snakes, you can expect paralysis, excruciating pain, and even suffocation due to their venom, which contains myotoxins and neurotoxins. Because the effects do not appear right away, bites are usually not fatal if treatment is given quickly.

Black-Necked Spitting Cobra

Sub-Saharan Africa is home to these deadly predators. The black-necked spitting cobra can grow to be 2.2 meters in length. You can probably guess what makes it unique based on its name. The reptile can spit venom with pinpoint accuracy at targets up to 23 feet away. It is harmless if it only hits the skin, despite its excellent aim. Its neurotoxic venom could cause permanent blindness and agony if it gets into the sensitive tissues of your eye.
