The largest size of the most dangerous snake recorded on the Internet is 8.5 kg, 15kg and 17.75kg, but these data are not credible. On the one hand, people who tout the huge size of Mangshan welding head are misled;

As the discoverer of The Most Dangerous Snake, he once described this snake as the heaviest poisonous snake in China, weighing 8.5 kilograms. However, this data is still inaccurate. Even at 8.5 kg, it will not be the heaviest poisonous snake in China. On the other hand, merchants are constantly touting to improve the popularity of Mangshan welding head.

When the most dangerous snakes were first discovered, they were only distributed in subtropical coniferous forests and broad-leaved forests in the Mangshan area at the junction of Hunan and Guangdong, and the number was extremely rare. This kind of snake is rarer than the giant panda, with no more than 500 species in the world. 1994 The National Action Plan for Biodiversity Protection lists the most dangerous snakes as "the world's key protected endangered species";

As the saying goes, things are scarce, and millions of snakes have been fried in the black market. But now the artificial breeding of this snake is very successful, the population tends to be stable, and there are some large-scale breeding abroad.
