Details for Sea Snake

• Sea Snake

  Sea snakes are a subfamily of venomous snakes primarily adapted for life in marine environments. They are found in warm coastal waters of the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Varying in size, they typically range from 0.5 to 3 meters (1.6 to 10 feet) in length, characterized by flattened, paddle-like tails for swimming. Most sea snakes are highly venomous, but generally docile towards humans. They feed primarily on fish, eels, and fish eggs. Despite being air-breathing, they can stay submerged for extended periods, and some species can even absorb oxygen directly through their skin.
