Tiger snakes – which live in southern Australia and Tasmania – are rated the fifth most deadly in the world.
The reptiles – which are black and yellow like a tiger – usually have around 35 to 65 mg of venom, as reported by What’s The Jam.
However, Tony, who is at the Australian Reptile Park, north of Sydney, Australia had 123mg.
Park manager Billy Collett said: “Tony is one of the most unpredictable snakes we have at the park.
“And keeps our team on high alert during every milking session.

“His venom yields have consistently been impressive, but this latest record is truly remarkable.”
He said it was enough to kill up to 400 people.
Billy added: “Tiger snakes are known for their potent venom and, despite being less aggressive than some species, their bites can be deadly if untreated.

“We’re the only facility in Australia that milks tiger snakes for antivenom production, so Tony’s record-breaking contribution could save someone’s life.”
