Although I cannot currently find a web link to prove it, I would say Australia.
According to research done by Bill Bryson for his 'Down Under' book, Australia is home to all ten of the world's ten deadliest snakes, and seventeen of the twenty most dangerous.

"There are slightly more than 100 species of Australian snakes, about three-quarters of them being venomous."
