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:
Or I can confuse them and just avoid both of them.
Duamerthrax used confusion.
Snek is confuse.
Snek fled.
Best not to go outside at all.
Phew. That was easy.
“Black on yellow, kill a fellow!”
Red on black, poison lack.
I thought it was “friend of Jack”
That’s different from what I heard!
I thought it was “if it’s yellow, let it mellow”
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.”
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 almost believed you. But the part of divers breathing snake ass was too much.
watch it turns out that there IS a species that does this, and you were accidentally correct
that’ll be egg on your face
Don’t boop it.
Must… booo000p.
It closes its noses.

You boop, I’ll watch.
Jazz hands!
And that is why humans invented swimming pools.
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.
Would be even scarier if you saw it I’m your perifial vision, imagine that
Because we all agreed not to. Quit ruining our ignorant and peaceful existence.
Don’t do it, it’s Nope rope!
So cute😍
wait until you hear about saltwater crocodiles https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saltwater_crocodile
