what is the rarest snake in the world

[TheTaipan]

I think it is the rough scaled python. For what I know is that there is like only about 100 of these snakes in the world. Another thing that is amazing is that at my 5th grade trip to the bronx zoo I saw like 7 of them. No kidding.

Sahul Reef Snake and the Leaf-scaled Sea Snake have jumped to the top of the list since 2000. Neither of these snakes have been recorded in surveys since 2000 according to the IUCN Red List.
