Venom Yield/Bite (Mg): 1.0-4.0

Sea snakes often need to come to the surface to drink fresh water. But Yellow-bellied sea snakes can live without drinking up to 7 months in case of seasonal drought. They reproduce in warm waters, and they are ovoviviparous creatures, having a gestation period of half a year. They float on the surface of the sea, and when pelagic fish seek shelter under them, they catch the victim with their jaws. They have the ability of swimming backwards.
