Common death adder
Native primarily to Australia, the Common death adder (and boy, what a name that is) contains a high toxic neurotoxin which causes paralysis or even death. It delivers one of the fastest strikes among all other venomous snakes that have been recorded in Australia. If bitten, death occurs within six hours, so best to avoid these buggers.
