Mick, the smallest, most venomous snake would have to be the Saw Scaled Viper. Curiously, it kills about 20,000+ people every year. They are found in Africa, Israel, Palestine and other parts of the middle east. Also India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Word is that those 20,000+ people that die are ones bitten mostly in India and the island of Sri Lanka. Mostly it has to do with the fact those people walk around with no shoes and there is little antivenin available.
They have a powerful hemotoxic venom that causes massive internal bleeding. They average about 2 feet, maybe a little larger. Small heads, small venom glands, but one bite can kill probably 6 or 7 people.
The most toxic snake in the world is the Inland Taipan. 1 milligram can kill a grown man, or several thousand mice. 1 milligram is an M&M cut into 1000 pieces, and one of those pieces is 1 milligram!! One bite from an Inland can kill 150 men over 200pounds. Pretty potent
