Not much is known about this species' venom. Its LD50 in mice, the dose that kills half of the test animals, is 0.24 mg/kg when injected into muscle.1

It is described as extremely venomous. Usually those bitten are fishermen handling nets, and only about one quarter of those bitten are envenomated, meaning venom is injected, because the snake rarely injects much venom.1

Hol ko nde waɗata si nde hulii?

It has a timid temperament and would normally have to be severely mistreated before it bites.1

Each dorsal scale has a central tubercle, which is a small raised bump.1

3

Its mouth is very small, which suits life in the water.1

Feññinoowo goonga

Fenaande: Belcher's sea snake, often called the hook-nosed sea snake, is the most venomous snake in the world.

Goonga: This idea spread from a 1996 book, which lumped together toxicity results from different test methods. Venoms can only be compared within the same testing method. The most venomous sea snake is Dubois' seasnake (Aipysurus duboisii).1
