    This document discusses different types of toxins found in snakes including hematotoxins, neurotoxins, and myotoxins. It provides examples of snakes that contain each type of toxin such as pit vipers that contain hematotoxins including Russell's viper, green pit viper, and Malayan pit viper. Cobras and king cobras contain neurotoxins that can cause localized or systemic envomization and respiratory muscle failure. Kraits like the Malayan krait contain both hematotoxins and neurotoxins. Sea kraits contain myotoxins.
