Snakes aren't dangerous, animals aren't dangerous. Humans are dangerous because they can choose to be dangerous. But in my opinion animals of all kinds aren't dangerous. They're just doing their job. I do think we should respect all animals and their space and to respect who they are. You get what i mean? Sorry for ranting XD i got carried away.

Yeah, i understand your think, true that all animals aren't dangerous if people don't violate their space but i think people should see this video to know how to avoid them because anyway, they're capable of killing people by their poison you're a good man

*venom.

Plus very few people are ever going to encounter these snakes even if they live in the countries the snakes are native to.

Overreaction and hyperbole are much more dangerous to snakes than their venom ever will be to us...

Spot on!.....

and to add on to what Danny said: (quoted from an article)
"The chances of dying from a venomous snakebite in the United States is nearly zero, because we have available, high-quality medical care in the U.S. Fewer than one in 37,500 people are bitten by venomous snakes in the U.S. each year (7-8,000 bites per year), and only one in 50 million people will die from snakebite (5-6 fatalities per year)."
Venomous Snake FAQs

That website goes on to state you're more likely to get struck by lightning or killed by the family dog then killed by a snake bite. Ooooh and about 100 deaths per year due to horse riding accidents.

Beautifully said. =)

I've seen many of these lists, each is more inaccurate and riddled with myths than the previous. It's like they are striving to outdo each other. One could easily deconstruct the whole video point by point, but what really gets me is that every one of these ridiculous lists uses the same picture of a Red-bellied Black Snake (Pseudechis porphyriacus) labeled as a Black Mamba (Dendroaspis polylepis). The opening line in this video sets to tone for the whole thing though, "There's a constant debate which snakes is the most venomous. Some would say Anaconda or King Cobra but that not the most venomous snakes." I don't believe there is any debate there, Anacondas are unquestionably the most venomous.

I will admit not many people die from venomous snake bites in the US however the stats are not really all that accurate. At least locally the most common bites I have seen were from Western diamondbacks. I have seen case studies of a few fatalities but the occurred due to complications following the bite. Most often clots thrown causing stroke. The death may be getting liked to stroke rather than snake bite.

I do agree with the idea than no animal is dangerous if treated properly. But you have to admit, some are definitely less forgiving that others when mistakes occur.

Yeah I didn't get around to double checking those stats, but like pet snake mentioned "Humans have a tendency to fear sensational causes of death" I wanted to point out that there are easier ways to die. Car accidents, cancer, I could go on. Fearing a small chance to die by way of snake, or shark is another example, does more harm to the animal than the person. Then people go oh no this snake is going to kill me so I should kill it, without stopping to see if it is a "dangerous" snake or harmless one or doing any sort of research on it. And yes some times that fear is a good thing in the right hands, because they will treat that animal with respect and leave it alone.

Mate just out of curiosity but what venomous snakes or snakes do you keep

[pet_snake_78]

People as a general rule are terrible at risk assessment. Humans have a tendency to fear sensational causes of death (snake bite, lightening strike) much more so than highly likely causes of death (car accident, fire, heart disease, cancer, etc). Snakes are dangerous only to those who didn't notice the snake or are attempting to harass it. Once you've seen the snake, it's no longer a threat, just stay out of striking range and leave it alone.

[jay's reptiles]

Snakes are NOT poisonous, snakes are venomous.

Their are venomous and nonvenomous snakes.

Example: Copperhead, King cobra etc..

[Jim Smith]

Jay,

I get your point about venomous versus poisonous and I have to correct about 90% of the people (non-reptile keepers) I speak with when talking about snakes. That said, in your example, it looks like you're suggesting that the Copperhead is venomous while the King Cobra is non-venomous. Perhaps a better example would be to compare a Copperhead to a Kingsnake. Just a thought...

No No No. I was giving examples of Venomous snakes like the King cobra and the CopperHead.
