The snakes that have Hemotoxic venom are the snakes such as copperheads, and cottonmouths as well as rattlesnakes.

These snakes are known as viper snakes and all viper snakes have Hemotoxic Venom.

The snakes that are known as Elapid snakes have neurotoxic venom.

Elapid snakes with neurotoxic venom are the snakes which include Coral Snakes, Cobra Snakes, Sea Snakes, Mamba Snakes as well as Kraits Snakes.

The Hemotoxic snake venom is snake venom that destroys red blood cells and also causes hemolysis, disrupts blood clotting, and also attacks other types of cells and tissues.

This in turn leads to it causing profound tissue damage and often, organ failure.

These types of snake bites are also very painful.

The Neurotoxic snake venom contains chemical substances that are poisonous to the nervous system.

Neurotoxins work by disrupting chemical signals (neurotransmitters) sent between neurons.

They may also reduce neurotransmitter production or block neurotransmitter reception sites.
