Saw-Scaled Viper
In some ways, the Saw-Scaled Viper is the polar opposite of the King Cobra. It is a small snake that can reach a length of 3 feet. On the other hand, its venom is extremely cytotoxic and hemotoxic. They are capable of causing debilitating strokes as well as prolonged bleeding. Several sub-species can be found in eastern and northern Africa, while others can be found in the wetter regions of the Arabian Peninsula.

Common Krait
There are more deadly snakes in India than you might think. The Common Krait is one of the “big four” snake species that are responsible for the majority of snakebite deaths in the region. It can be found all over the subcontinent. The striking animal’s black and white ring patterns help it blend in with the light and shadows on the forest floor. Despite its non-aggressive nature, this animal takes its time to deliver the maximum amount of venom.
