Interesting list. Several people I know hate snakes, fearing they will be bitten while picking up a bird or that their dog will be bitten (more likely).

Good that anti-venom is readily available. While not good that 4 - 6 people die per year in Australia, that is much better than the reported 50,000 in India.

My experience with snakes in the US is probably significantly different from pther's experience in other parts of the world. I have seen and killed a number of cotton mouths, rattlers, and copper heads and seen only one coral snake. None were very aggressive; ie, tried to attack but a number held their ground until they could escaped. I believe most bites in US are when people get too close to the snake and it "feels" threaten (maybe feels is wrong word, not sure snakes feel)

BTW, rattlers and copperheads taste good, never eaten a cotton mouth, expect they are fishy in taste.
