    Venomous sea snakes are, on a whole, ridiculously more venomous than venomous land snakes. As far I as recall.

      Like the very venomous coral snake:

      New World coral snakes possess one of the most potent venoms of any North American snake. However, relatively few bites are recorded due to their reclusive nature and the fact they generally inhabit sparsely populated areas. Even in areas that are densely populated, bites are rare.

      Also not to be confused with the non-venomous king snake:

      Two photos of snakes placed side by side. On the left is the coral snake who has stripes in a black pattern of black, yellow, red, yellow - with the yellow being small bands compared to the other colors. On the right is a king snake who has stripes in a pattern of red, black, yellow or off white, black - with the red parts being much larger than the other two colors.

            They taught us that at summer camp. They were trying to conserve water and had a little song to remind us, “If it’s yellow let it mellow, if it’s brown flush it down.”

    They get their fresh water from rain pools that, being less dense than seawater, float on the surface for a while.

    Fun fact sea snake scales are actually hydrophobic and there is a thin layer of air around it. The snake can breathe from this bubble of scale air and some pacific island claim divers can stay underwater longer by catching sea snakes and breathing from their tails, also I just made all that up.

    I have seen a striped white and black one while oversees on holiday casually swimming on the beach in the water

    Clarification edit: it was the snake casually swimming on the beach near the shore, not me

      I have never been scared of snakes. They aren’t spooky, they don’t turn my stomach. The phobia has never made sense to me.

      But I think if I saw that thing slither by while diving I would get it. Huh.
