eli5 what is it that makes a snake more venomous then another?

248 views

today I came across a video with a title along the lines of ‘second most venomous snake, only after then inland tipan’ and I’m wondering what makes something more venomous then another?

Is it how quickly it makes the blood clot/ affect the blood? Is it how rare the meds are to fix it or how quickly you have to seek medical treatment? As I type this post I’m thinking maybe it is how deadly the venom is. Anybody know?

Just like spag bol, there’s more than one recipe for venom. Each type of snake has its own recipe that works the best for it – just like your Mum cooks spag bol that everyone in your house gobbles up, but your neighbourkid thinks tastes funny.

The most venomous snake is the one that has a recipe that works for everyone.
