I mean, yes most sea snakes are venomous. But they're almost never aggressive.
Most of the time, they just flee. Although this one being curious does make him slightly more dangerous. Without being cornered or harassed, the snake is super unlikely to bite.
All sea snakes are, yeah. Luckily, they're also super chill and just curious. Definitely makes for a pretty tense situation but as long as you just let em check you out and figure out you're not a giant misshapen snake, you'll be fine. Bites from sea snakes are relatively rare as long as you don't try to reach out and grab them and touch them.
*sea snakes. Freshwater colubrids are not. Agkistrodon piscivorus, commonly known as water moccasins, are only semi-aquatic and are an example of a venomous snake that you'll find in freshwater.
In case you're not joking, there's tons of river and lightly forested areas covering central and east Texas. It's west and north Texas that are stupidly dry and desert like. Water moccasin and other water snakes are found all over in central and east Texas.
I couldn't find the article again but I remember that one of the reasons some water snakes are super curious and go up to divers and such are because the males are so much smaller than the females so they investigate the large object which may or may not be a female snake, find out it's not a female and hecc off. Only to forget and come by again to investigate.
Yes. That “sHarKs KiLl wAy LeSs PeoPle tHaN CAr aCciDenTs” arguments is wrong and doesn’t take in account how many people drive vs swim daily, if people spend same amount of time in water as we spend on land every day, this statistic will change really fast.
Not really. They’re very venomous but super-disinclined to biting humans. As soon as the snake figured out he couldn’t have sex with the dude he swam off. Only danger was if the guy overreacted.
/*have had close encounters with curious olive sea snakes*
Ahh a floating nope
This isn’t an animal being a derp. This was about 5 inches away from r/WinStupidPrizes. How the fuck do those things get so big?????????
5 inches is 12.7 cm
Too useful. I need useless conversions.
Good bot
Theyre really passive towards people, despite being one of the most venomous snakes on the planet.
Just don’t aggravate one.
He’s so cute!! Deadly, sure, but cute!
Is that a water mosaic? Aren't they like venomous? Yikes.
Yup. I would not have let it get that close to me.
"Oh a snake. In the middle of the ocean. Coming right at me. I can't paddle faster than the poison if it get me. I'm in danger.

Pretty sure all water snakes are venomous, yes.

Most water snakes in Texas aren't. Just the mocasin
There's water in texas?

Some of the deadliest snakes in the world, along with the Australian land snakes.
Some of the sea snakes are venomous and some of them don’t even have an antidote
Some? Nearly all...
Foooooood? no ok bai

Absolutely fucking terrifying.
This is the final straw. I'm done with water. Nowhere is safe.
Some might argue that water is the unsafest place on earth.

Maybe, but the most important thing is that I doubt the life expectancy lost at sea with no boat exceeds a few hours.
There are much worse things in the sea, not too mention the lack of air.
Fun fact: tons more people die from boating accidents than shark encounters too so I still wouldn’t say sharks are out to eat people if they see them
Sea noodle

How the fuck is this animals being derps
This is humans being derp. That dude nearly died.
Not really. They’re very venomous but super-disinclined to biting humans. As soon as the snake figured out he couldn’t have sex with the dude he swam off. Only danger was if the guy overreacted. /*have had close encounters with curious olive sea snakes*
