Sea snakes are with flat tailed and scaled snakes usually found in tropical and warm waters of the Pacific and Indian Oceans. Usually around 3-5 feet long, sea snakes can also grow to 9 feet long. . There are at least 52 species known and all of them are venomous.
Although they evolved from terrestrial ancestors the vast majority cannot move on land.
They can move both forward and backwards in the water with equal speed. They can dive as deep as 328 feet and stay underwater for two hours. It is an air breather and must come to the surface to survive. A sea snake has scales where as eels do not.
Sea snakes are usually not aggressive unless provoked or cornered. Although they are highly venomous, only some bites result in significant symptoms or envenomation.
The venom in injected by fangs. Most species fangs are not long enough to penetrate through a wetsuit. The venom is very potent and toxic.
Bites typically occur when fishermen are removing the snakes from fishing nets or if the snake is stepped on while wading in the water.
A bite from a sea snake does not cause pain initially. It may show only a small pin prick where the bite occurred without pain. Sea snakes bites could show anywhere from 1 to up to 20 “fang” marks
