The yellow-bellied sea snake is a sea snake with a strongly venomous bite. It lives in warm tropical oceans and spends its whole life at sea, floating on the surface. Its yellow belly and brown back make it easy to tell apart from most other sea snakes.1

Tropical oceans across the Indo-Pacific, the Pacific coasts of the Americas, the eastern coast of Africa, and parts of the Atlantic and Caribbean through occasional strays.1

Hello arano
It is a free-floating ocean snake that drifts on surface currents, often along oceanic drift lines and in floating mats of sea kelp. People most often meet it when it is washed up on beaches or caught in fishing nets.1

Ko honɗun ngal ñaamata?
It hunts pelagic fish that come to the surface to shelter. It floats still on the surface to attract them, then catches prey with a backwards swimming motion and a rapid lunge of the jaws.1

The venom is highly potent and contains several different neurotoxins, which attack the nerves, along with two other isotoxins. Sea snake venom can damage skeletal muscle, which may release myoglobin into the urine (myoglobinuria), and can cause neuromuscular paralysis or direct kidney damage. Juvenile venom is on average less concentrated than adult venom.1

Bites are rare. The most common victims are fishermen who try to remove the snakes from fishing nets. No deaths have been recorded from bites in Australian waters.1

It is not considered aggressive but will defend itself if threatened.1

  • The venom is neutralised with sea snake antivenom (Enhydrina schistosa). If that is not available, tiger snake or polyvalent antivenom should be used.1

Humpito

1

It can swim backwards, which is an unusual ability and a distinguishing feature of this species.1

2

It breathes partly through its skin, taking oxygen from seawater while diving and swimming at the surface.1

3

It can survive severe dehydration for up to 7 months during seasonal drought.1

4

Large groups of thousands have been seen floating together on the surface in oceanic drift lines.1

5

It is the only sea snake known to have reached the Hawaiian Islands.1

6

Strays wash up so often on New Zealand's coasts that it is considered native to the country and protected under the Wildlife Act 1953.1

Bonnoowo fenaandeeji

Fenaande: Sea snakes drink seawater and filter out the salt through a special salt gland in the lower jaw.

Goonga: Sea snakes drink only fresh water. The salt gland was once thought to filter salt, but it is not used for that purpose. The yellow-bellied sea snake likely drinks from freshwater lenses that form on the sea surface after heavy rain.1
