Deadliest snakes of India? Spectacled cobra, Russell’s viper, Common krait, Saw-scaled viper
India is home to about 300 snake species. About 30 species are dangerously venomous, but only 4 are very famous for causing many snakebites – the Spectacled cobra (Naja naja), the Russell’s viper (Daboia russelii), the Common krait (Bungarus caeruleus) and the Saw-scaled viper (Echis carinatus). In this video we show all 4 species of the Big 4 and one extra species – the Hump-nosed pit viper (Hypnale hypnale). The concept of Big 4 of India is outdated nowadays and snakebite is a very complex problem in this country. There are more venomous snake species contributing to the human-snake conflict.
