Awesome pictures. Must be amazing to get to interact with those snakes where they live.

One little correction though: sea snakes and sea kraits are not back-fanged. They are front-fanged elapids, relatives of the cobras, mambas, etc. At least for now...sea snake taxonomy may be being updated as we speak. It's a good thing they're reluctant to bite, as they're more than capable of causing a lethal envenomation!

Back fanged vs Front Fanged Kraits

Hi Chance,
That's interesting about the fang location - I have been telling people confidently for years that they are back fanged but now I come to think about it, I don't know where I got that information.
Our local Field Guide to herpetology doesn't mention fang type, merely says highly venomous but non-aggressive.
Thanks for the correction!
Helen
