Longest Fangs

The longest fangs of any snake are those of the highly venomous Gaboon viper (Bitis gabonica) of tropical Africa. In a specimen 1.83 m (6 ft) long, the fangs measured 50 mm (2 in). The Gaboon viper is considered to produce more venom than any other venomous snake. A single adult male may have enough venom to inject lethal dosees into 30 individual men. Not only do they produce more venom than any other snake but they also inject more deeply.
