Anaconda

If you came into this list after watching the horror film Anaconda then you should know that we have not missed out on your snake. The Anaconda is an almost unrealistically large snake that is big enough to swallow a human whole. Despite the lack of venom you will still find that the Anaconda is extraordinarily dangerous due to its size. This snake likes to wrap victims around the midsection and compress them until they are crushed or completely suffocated. From that point on the Anaconda begins the long task of swallowing you. Yep, we’ll pass on wrestling with one of these.

Boomslang

From giant and fat to large and agile, the Boomslang is a snake that many folks don’t realize that they need to fear, however they are truly a threat. The Boomslang has killed people around the word but mostly in South Africa where it is from. These snakes are fast, can climb trees, and has a deadly bite that is filled with venomous toxins. Herpetologist Karl P. Schmidt was bitten by a juvenile Boomslang and he died 24 hours later from brain hemorrhaging — he had not sought medical help believing that such a small snake could not impart that much venom. He was wrong.
