Lists or rankings of the world's "most venomous snakes" are tentative and differ greatly due to numerous factors, including the recentness and reliability of the data, the number of species analyzed, and the testing methods used. In addition, since mice are the common indicator used to test venom from venomous snakes in LD50 test, the LD50 results may not reflect the actual effects on humans due to the physiological differences between mice and humans. For example, many venomous snakes are specialized predators on mice, and their venom may be adapted specifically to incapacitate mice. While most mammals have a very similar physiology, LD50 results may or may not be directly relevant to humans.
