| The five snakes discussed in this web site
will now be evaluated based on aggression, venom potency, death rate
among humans and distribution in order to decide which snake is the most
dangerous with respect to man. They will each be given a rating in
each of the four categories, 1 being the lowest and 5 being the highest,
the snake with the highest score will be considered the most dangerous.
The ratings in the categories of death rate and distribution will be
multiplied by 1.5 as I believe they are very important when evaluating
danger.
