So the venom would be hemo-necrotizing. It would have to be in the blood stream to do anything at all. Elapids would be neurotoxic

King cobras are the biggest venomous snake- although they're not true cobras, but closely related elapids.
The longest recorded was 19 feet- almost 6 meters.
But peacocks can hunt them! I call peacocks Glamourchicken Rex.

*waves hand* some people restrict cobra to Naja varieties but elapids in general get cobraed and I think this is a valid categorisation

Venom is costly for a snake to produce and they don't want to waste it on non-prey items if they don't have to.
Also vipers aren't elapids. Elapid venom generally works more quickly than viper venom, but even inland taipan venom might take up to two hours to show symptoms.

Sea snakes are highly venomous, fully aquatic elapids found in tropical and subtropical marine waters, particularly in the Indo-Pacific region. Human envenomation is uncommon but can occur among fishermen, divers, and coastal laborers who inadvertently provoke or handle these serpents.

Generally speaking. Coral snakes are the only NA elapids, so their heads are more in line with what you may be used to but they're pretty rare and small enough to not pose much of a threat except to children or the elderly

Fact: If you're looking for the most beautiful snake species, #Asia is the best place to look. Asian elapids and vipers are some of the most beautiful species on earth and they have lots of beautiful non-venomous species too, like colorful rat snakes and whatnot.
Awesome! Coral snakes are my favorite venomous snakes. Asian coral snakes are a whole other world and look much different from coral snakes in the Americas:
1) Malaysian blue coral snake
2) Malaysian striped coral snake
3) McClelland's coral snake
4) Hatori coral snake

I remember one YouTube reptile channel saying if you think elapids look cool, just get an Indigo snake. It looks like a lot of hots and whatever problems keeping one, you don't end up on a ventilator if it bites you.
There are always better options than hots.
