Sea and water snakes live in the water most of there lives they do need to come up to the surface to breathe once every hour and since they need to breathe air that often they are usually found in shallow areas in the Indian and Pacific ocean mostly in the warmer parts.They eat fish,fish eggs,and small eels that they find under rocks and reefs.There are 30-50 different kinds of sea snakes and they all belong to the cobra family.The average size of a sea snake can grow 2 meters long but there head is a little small for there body size.There tails are flat to help them swim though the water and to help them go faster to get away from predators,they also have flaps over there nostrils to keep water out of there nose when they swim.Sea snakes are very poisonous the most poisonous sea snake is the beaded sea snake,just 3 drops of there venom can kill about 8 people!
