About this work
Female Yellow-lipped sea krait (Laticauda colubrina), Anilao, Philippines. This venomous sea snake is found in tropical Indo-Pacific oceanic waters and it spends much of its time under water to hunt, but returns to land to digest, rest, and reproduce. It has very potent neurotoxic venom, which it uses to prey on eels and small fish. On average, the total length of a male is 875 mm (2 ft 10.4 in) long. Females are significantly larger, with an average total length of 1.42 m (4 ft 8 in).
