Is the sea snake a poisonous snake?

Answer 1

No, boa constrictors kill by crushing their prey to death, every time somebody exhales, the boa constricts even more. The majority of snakes are harmless, but if in doubt when you encounter one, assume it is.

Answer 2

The simple answer is no.

The more complex answer is, maybe. Recent work with snakes has shown that most if not all Colubrid snakes produce a mild venom that is mixed in with their saliva. Many Natricine snakes were already known to produce a mild venom as well. As work continues with more snake species it may be shown that many more, if not all produce some sort of venom, but that venom is harmless to humans.

Answer 3

No, venomous snakes are not necessarily poisonous. A poison is something that makes you ill or kills you if you consume it. A venom is something that kills you or makes you ill if you are injected with it. People routinely eat venomous snakes with no ill affects.

Answer 4

ALL sea snakes are venomous (to use the correct term) They use highly toxic venom to catch fish (their natural diet) The venom has to be fast acting in order to subdue prey quickly.

Answer 5

A:

(If bitten and venom is injected)

The most venomous snake on earth is the Belcher's Sea Snake (Hydrophis Belcheri) or the Faint Banded Sea Snake, some consider the Inland Taipan (Oxyuranus microlepidotus) an/or the Beaked Sea Snake (Enhydrina schistosa) to be the most toxic, however, with recent and more accurate (LD-5-) studies as of 2010 prove the Belcheri has a 100 times more toxic venom then the two above or any other snake on earth.

It has a paddle-like tail, breathes air and can hold it's breath up to 8 hours, it's size ranges from 1-1/2 ft (0.5m) to 3 ft (1 m), a few milligrams of venom can kill over a thousand people.

It's habitat has a wide range in the South Pacific.
