Fer-De-Lance

The next position on the list of the most dangerous snakes in the world is Fer-de-lance, any of a number of very poisonous viper snakes that can be found in tropical America and tropical Asia in a variety of environments, from cultivated lands to woods. The fer-de-lance, often referred to as Barba Amarilla in Spanish, is a pit viper, which may be identified by a tiny sensory pit located between each eye and nostril. It typically grows to a length of between 1.2 and 2 meters and has a broad triangular head. It is gray or brown and has a pattern of diamond-shaped marks with black edges that are frequently surrounded by lighter hues. Humans who are bitten by it risk dying.


One of the most dangerous pit vipers is the fer-de-lance, which may be found in South and Central America, Mexico, and Brazil. This snake, which can grow to be 8 feet long and weighs 10 to 13 pounds on average, is common in inhabited areas, which is probably why it has been blamed for so many bites.


The terciopelo bites with an average of 500 to 1500 mg of venom each bite, depending on the species. Given that it takes 3 mg to kill a mouse, it stands to reason that this snake, which can typically kill 6 people in a single bite, is just as harmful to humans.
