Snake island is one of the most deadliest place on the earth which is located in Brazil.This island is filled with 3000 to 4000 snakes live on 110 acre island and you can also find one snake for every six square yards.This island is mostly packed with golden lance head vipers which is one of the most deadliest snake in the entire world.
The snake venom is said to be three to five times stronger which can kill a person in under an hour and can melt human flesh.The Brazilian navy took action and closed the island to the public due to number of snakes and rapid increase in deaths who visits the island.
From 1909 to 1920s,a few people did live on the island in order to run its lighthouse.According to the tale the last lighthouse keeper,along with his family died when a group of snakes entered into his home through the windows.
The only people who are allowed on the island is the research team who receive waivers to collect data.There are only few scientists who have set foot on the snake island.
Stepping into the island requires the legal permission and a doctor need to be present at allowed time.If a person gets bit by a snake on the island an anti venom need to be injected to the person immediately.
Some claim that the snakes were put on the island by pirates to protect their treasure but in reality the population of snakes on the island evolved over 1000 years ago without human intervention.
