There are around 2,500 known species of snake in the world today. These are categorized into 14 families. Due to bad press and the fear of a venomous bite, most humans generally fear snakes. However, only around 20% of the snake species are actually poisonous. The Inland Taipan is the most deadly snake in the world. It lives in Australia and has the most toxic venom of any snake
Reading the answer above I think the fact that 1 in 5 snakes can kill is good enough reason for anyone to be scared of them.
