Lol I'm really gonna try not to sound like an arse here but technically there are no (as far as I know please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong lol) "poisonous" snakes, they can be "venomous" I.E. they inject a toxin but not "poisonous".

Ok sorry just had to get that out of the way. As far as them being more venomous than other snakes, not a chance. Not any of the snakes that are kept regularly here in the US.

Little fun side note, the boomslang from Africa is a rear fanged snake and is considered to have one of (if not the) the most potent and deadly venoms in the world. However, they are not an agressive snake and have to work extremely hard on you to engage their rear-fangs so as far as I know there has only ever been one human death from a boomslang bite.
