Atheris Hispida

The Atheris Hispida is one of the most unique looking snakes on this list and that’s largely due to its location throughout the rainforests of Central Africa. This snake is a highly venemos snake with huge eyes, bristled scales, and retractable claws. The biggest danger is that there is no known antivenin currently being produced.

Desert Horned Viper

Eek, the Desert Horned Viper is up next on our list. This large snake is the very image of evil in pop culture. It is long, light brown with patterned dark spots, and sporting horns above its eyes. They move sideways across sand and you can find it all throughout the Middle East and northern parts of Africa. Did we mention, that they’re hugely toxic thanks to its potent venom and you would do well to avoid being caught in ones path.
