I was just wondering, what kinds of lethal snakes and spiders do you have...

i come from england and the only poisonous snake we have is the adder. we don have poisonous spiders or frogs or anything like that really apart from in zoos. we are pretty lucky really lol. it has bee known for poisonous spiders to come to this country from others on boats and in deliveries of bananas and things like that but no natives. it soulds really dangerous where you come from. how often to see these deadly creatures. happy mylotting

I am from Northern part of India and I am staying on a big Stud Farm where we breed Throuoghbreds for the purpose of Racing! we are having 300 horses and in the capacity of a Vet I need to look after all these 300 horses. Since my farm is psread over 150 acres ! Our farm is like a desert with a lot of sandy area with lot of bushes spread all around the farm. We have four species of lethal snakes that are present in India. We have Cobras, Kraits,Pit Viper and Russel Vipers out of five sparing King Cobra. Cobras are hooded snakes with spectacle mark on their hood. they are lethal once and they raise their hood when stimulated. Kraits are striped snakes and they are notorious type of snakes generally enter the dwellings of Human beings and are generally found near Humans' habitat and are quite poisonous; Vipers bith pit and Russel are wild type and normally hide themselves under some stones or bushes! they are also lethal with big fangs to inject the poison into their victim! I often see this snakes on the farm and fortunately we haven't come accross any sort of casuelty caused by the snkes either withhorses or to Human beings. Yes a couple of times Vipers have entered my Kitchen and they roam freely in our lawns but then they never caused any harm to us! As far as the spiders are concern we don't have any letahl spiders in India so I am not really bothered about them though we have many species of these on our farm. Other several non poisonous snakes are also there on the farm ! I am interested in the snakesand I have got a couple of books on the Indian Snakes and with the help of this book I try to study the snakes I get on the farm! Thanks for initiating such an interesting topic of iscussion!

Ireland doesn't have any native snakes,venomous or otherwise,or native venomous spiders either.We get a type of house spider here called a "Giganta",which is about 3x the size of the webcrawlers you usually get..it lurks quite impressively and would make you double take on seeing one!

Here in North Carolina, we have water moccasins (cottonmouths), copperheads and rattlesnakes. I've never run across a rattler, but I have cottonmouth's and copperheads! I'm totally terrified of the cottonmouths. We have black widows and brown recluse spiders. I see black widows quite a lot, but thankfully, I've never actually seen a brown recluse. Of course, most of the people bitten by them don't see them first. I've known two people who were bitten by them; omg, it's horrible what they can do. NC has Coral snakes, too, but thankfully, I've never come across one of those. Hopefully, I'll never see one!

We don't have many venomous insects or reptiles up here in New England, but we do have brown recluse spiders here and there. I've always loved both spiders and snakes, but I wonder if I'd feel differently if I were raised in an area where they are dangerous.
