<P> The Inland taipan ( Oxyuranus microlepidotus ) is considered the most venomous snake in the world with a murine LD value of 0.025 mg / kg SC . Ernst and Zug et al. 1996 list a value of 0.01 mg / kg SC , which makes it the most venomous snake in the world in their study too . They have an average venom yield of 44 mg . Bites from this species have a mortality rate of 80 % if left untreated , although it is very rare for this species to bite . This species is known to be a very shy , reclusive and a laid - back snake that will nearly always slither away from disturbance . It is not an aggressive species and rarely strikes . No recorded incidents have been fatal since the advent of the monovalent ( specific ) antivenom therapy . </P>
