Gaboon Viper
Gaboon vipers tend to dwell in sub-Saharan Africa’s rainforests and savannas. It is highly venomous, just like the rest of the Viper family. In addition, it is the largest member of the genus group and is the heaviest viperid in the world with the longest fangs, (2 inches long). Wait, more than that, it has the highest venom yield of any snake, too. So, I’m not a fan.

Dugite
A highly venomous Australian brown snake species is Dugite, or Pseudonaja affinis. One that isn’t covered by health insurance either. Their venom contains neurotoxins that are presynaptic and postsynaptic, plus procoagulants. All of which are not something you want, folks.
