Black Banded Sea Krait

Like most of us, the Black Banded Sea Krait enjoys warm waters. Swimming in the western Pacific Ocean might grant you a chance encounter with this snake. Despite this fella being one of the most venomous sea snakes, it usually doesn’t bite humans, whew!

When you hear this South American serpent shaking his maracas (shakers, if you will), my advice is, RUN! A part of the greater rattlesnake family, this one chose to live in the Argentina region. The Cascabel usually lives between 10 to 25 years but it can cause a bite that can take that many years off a person!
