Eastern Brown Snake
Do you know where the world’s second most venomous snake can be seen? That question has an answer: Australia! Keep an eye on your step when hiking in Australia’s east. The venom of the snake is extremely neurotoxic and can cause blood clots. The bite can cause kidney failure, heart attack, paralysis, and loss of consciousness, among other things. Because of the noxious mix of neurotoxins it carries, it is responsible for 60% of snakebite deaths in Australia.

Boomslang
The Boomslang is a stunning emerald green snake native to Sub-Saharan Africa. When it bites, it opens its jaws nearly 180 degrees and then injects a concentrated venom through the fangs at the back of the jawbone. Because it’s a silent killer, the symptoms won’t appear for several hours after the bite. Many victims believe they are fine and do not require medical attention. This is a mistake that could cost you your life. This is not a mistake you want to make.
