20. The python (Pythonidae)
Pythonidae ranks 20th in our list of the most deadliest snakes in the world. We have not chosen any specific python species, but it is on our list primarily because of disregard of people who keep these snakes as pets. Namely, many of the python victims are actually their owners. Although not significant, taking in mind the long time period, 10 people were killed by captive pythons from 1990-2012. Occasionally some cases of deaths caused by pythons are recorded in the wilderness. These nonvenomous snakes include some of the longest species in the world, famous for strangling their victims with their muscular bodies and then eating them whole.
