The heaviest snake in the world is the Green Anaconda snake.

Green anacondas can reach lengths of 30 feet (9 meters), diameters of 12 inches (30.5 centimeters) and can weigh 550 pounds (250 kilograms).

Green anacondas are also native to the northern regions of South America.

A king cobra can eat another cobra snake and other larger snakes which is why they are called the King Cobras.

The kind of snake that kills the fastest is the King Cobra Snake.

The king cobra snake is a venomous snake species of elapids endemic to jungles in Southern and Southeast Asia.

The sole member of the genus Ophiophagus, the King Cobra snake is distinguishable from other cobras, most noticeably by its size and neck patterns.

The fastest most venomous snake is the black mamba snake.

The black mamba snake is born with two to three drops of venom per fang.

Black mamba snakes are a front-fanged snake, with fangs up to 6.5 mm in length, located at the front of the upper jaw.

An adult black mamba snake has between 12 and 20 drops per fang.

It takes just two drops of venom to kill an adult human.

The snake that kills the most humans each year is the Saw Scaled Viper Snake.

The black mamba snake also kills a lot of people every year.

The black mamba is the species with the highest mortality rate in every single nation in which it occurs, despite not being responsible for the most numerous snakebites.

It is also the species which has the highest mortality rate worldwide.

The snake that kills the most people in the USA is the eastern diamondback rattlesnake.

The eastern diamondback rattlesnake is a species of venomous pit viper in the family Viperidae.

The species is endemic to the Southeastern United States. It is one of the heaviest venomous snakes in the Americas and the largest rattlesnake.

The country that has the most snake bite deaths is India.

Around 81,000 snake envenomings and 11,000 fatalities occur in India each year due to snake bites, making it the most heavily affected country in the world.

The deadliest snake in the world is the saw-scaled viper snake which is the deadliest of all snakes, since scientists believe it to be responsible for more human deaths than all other snake species combined.

The Saw scaled viper snakes venom, however, is lethal in less than 10 percent of untreated victims, but the snake's aggressiveness means it bites early and often.

The King Cobra Snake is also one of the deadliest snakes in the world.

Not only does the bite of a king cobra contain a high level of toxins; these toxins and venom target your heart and lungs.

Your respiratory system and heart can suffer greatly from a king cobra bite, and many victims who don't seek treatment end up perishing from cardiac arrest or respiratory complications.

Poisonous snakes or venomous snakes swim on top of water.

And only poisonous snakes will swim with their entire bodies visible on the water.

If you see a snake that is swimming on top of the water with their entire bodies visible then it's a poisonous snake.

Non poisonous snakes only swim below water.

Venomous snakes do also swim underwater as well.

Still even poisonous and venomous snakes sometimes swim under water so it may still be a venomous snake.

Poisonous snakes will swim with their heads above the water because a poisonous snake swims with their lungs inflated.

So if you see a snake swimming on top of the water then it's most likely a poisonous snake.

Non poisonous snakes will be seen swimming under the water.

Although there is a snake called the coral snake that is very poisonous and sometimes swims both on top of the water and under the water.
