The most venomous and deadly snake in the world is the inland taipan. They're found in remote areas of Queensland and Southeastern Australia. They also spend most of their time in semi-arid outback environments. This is why they aren't commonly encountered by people.
The fierce snake is found throughout a remote area in southwest Queensland and northwest South Australia. They thrive amongst the harsh conditions of their arid, outback environment! They can vary in colouration, however, are typically a light brown, dark brown or a straw-like colour.
South Australia
Most of the venomous tend to be in this area.
"Including the brown, tiger, black, taipan, death adder and certain sea snakes and all these snakes are found in Queensland," Mr Farry said.
Even more impressive, Australia is home to 20 of the 25 most venomous snakes in the world, including all of the top 11.

The killer of the most people
The saw-scaled viper (Echis carinatus) may be the deadliest of all snakes, since scientists believe it to be responsible for more human deaths than all other snake species combined.
That makes Alaska one of two states to be snake-free, the other being Hawaii. As an island, Hawaii is more representative of why most countries without snakes have gotten so lucky: They're geographically isolated. Not all islands are devoid of snakes, of course.
Peter informed me that the "snake" in the above picture actually is a Common Scaly-foot (Pygopus lepidopodus), one of the many Australian legless lizards. Thank you Peter for the information. Snakes can be found all over Australia, not only in the Outback.
Snakes can bite you underwater, but usually only if they're provoked or if they feel threatened. In the Tropical Journal of Medicine and Hygiene, researchers studied 100 sea-snake bite patients who visited a local hospital. They found that over 80% of patients were fishermen who had been in the water.

The Eastern brown snake is responsible for around 60% of deaths caused by snakebite in Australia.
A king cobra would win a fight against a taipan. The taipan has much deadlier venom, but that's not going to save it against the great amount of experience that king cobras have in attacking snakes. Neither snake lives in the same area of the world and they're from different families.
Common Death Adders are found in Northern Territory, Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia and Western Australia.

An unlikely tale, perhaps—yet Ireland is unusual for its absence of native snakes. It's one of only a handful of places worldwide—including New Zealand, Iceland, Greenland, and Antarctica—where Indiana Jones and other snake-averse humans can visit without fear.
