Top 10 Most Dangerous Reptiles In The World: When it comes to choosing a pet, reptiles are quite a common option that several people opt for. But it's important to remember that not all reptiles are meant to be kept as pets. Some reptiles are, in fact, directly responsible for countless human deaths just because the victims couldn't reach the hospital sooner. So before you choose a reptile as a pet, take a look at this list we found for you. Here are the top 10 most dangerous reptiles in the world that can kill a human in the blink of an eye. The list has been compiled by WatchMojo.
Inland Taipan
Be it being most venomous or being most dangerous, Inland Taipan always rules the list because of its deadly nature. The snake can be found in Australia and spends most of its time hiding. Its venom can kill almost 100 adults.
Saltwater Crocodile
On the second spot, we have the largest reptile on the Earth, Saltwater Crocodile. They are also possessive about their young ones and can kill a human easily. It’s best to avoid them if and when encountered.
King Cobra
From being venomous to having good strength, this reptile is one of the deadliest in the world. King Cobra is the third number on the list, and another factor that makes it further dangerous is that it doesn't need to be too close to kill its prey.
Komodo Dragon
The biggest lizard, the Komodo Dragon, can be very deadly. They are highly venomous and are mostly found in Indonesia.
Saw-Scaled Viper
On the fifth spot, we have another deadly reptile that gives signals of its presence. The Saw-Scaled Viper makes a distinct sound which, if lucky, the prey can take as a warning and try to avoid the snake.
Black Mamba
The Black Mamba is popular for its deadly traits and for all the correct reasons. They are found in Africa and have a black head and tongue. The snake is one of the most deadly reptiles and if not treated immediately, its venom can easily kill a person.
Nile Monitor
On the seventh spot, we have the Nile Monitor. They are found in Africa and are the longest lizards. They are not very venomous but still can manage to leave a nasty wound through their strength and teeth.
Puff Adders
Another venomous snake, the Puff Adders, is on the eighth spot. They are very deadly and are found in Africa. It's a bit hard to stop them, which makes them even more dangerous.
