Indonesia

India
Most of us associate India with Cobras and rightly so. India is home to most species of Cobra family with the King Cobra flourishing in the rain forests of the nation. The king cobra is the longest of all poisonous snakes and injects the highest quantity of venom too. Interestingly it is not the cobra that registers most human bits in the nation though. It is the Russel’s Viper that accounts for most human bites. One of the key reason for that is the people confuse the viper for a non poisonous species, rat snake, and don’t deal with the snake as safe as they deal with a cobra.
Australia

Infect Australians encounter snakes very often than most countries in the world. Inspite of having so many poisonous snakes the attacks are not that high in Australia as most of these species are not aggressive in nature.
