Which snake in the world has the longest fangs?

King Cobra

Anaconda

Gaboon Viper

Rattle Snake
The Gaboon Viper has the longest fangs of any snake species, reaching up to 5 cm (2 inches). King Cobras are famous for their venom but not fang length. Anacondas are constrictors with no significant fangs. Rattlesnakes have notable fangs but not the longest.
The Gaboon viper (Bitis gabonica), native to sub-Saharan Africa, has the longest fangs of any venomous snake, reaching up to about 2 inches (5 cm) in large specimens — a well-documented herpetological fact tied to its large head and heavy venom yield. King cobras are the longest venomous snakes overall but don't have the longest fangs; anacondas are non-venomous constrictors with no venom fangs; rattlesnakes have relatively short fangs by comparison. Gaboon Viper is correct.
