Are there any poisonous snakes in australia?
Yes, Australia is home to over 50 types of venomous snakes, including the most venomous snake in the world, the Inland Taipan. Venom is different from poison in that venom must be injected to work, while poison can be ingested. In theory, venom would not be letal if swallowed, however stomach ulcers or other lacerations along the digestional tract would be channels for the venom to get into the bloodstream.
