I would panic if a sea snake got close to me, especially one that has highly toxic venom. The colors are very beautiful but I would prefer to see them on TV.

In reply to Fairlie. You do need to have a healthy respect for them, I know coming from NZ with no snakes it took a while to get to grips with seeing them (and the idea of not seeing them but knowing they are around!)

I have to say, snakes are one thing I'm more than a little scared of. I think, growing up in country WA with some pretty lethal snakes gave me a healthy fear of getting too close. And the idea of swimming with snakes? No. Just no. Even if they are harmless, I'm not sure I could do it.

My brain really understands that sea snakes will never attack humans without any special reasons, but I'm not courageous enough to get close to them... When I see them on your photos, they are beautiful. Thanks, Toni!

In reply to Julie Small. I agree Julie, I do think most of our Australian snakes are pretty, except death adders, the whole idea of death adders totally freaks me out

They are beautiful! But then I also think red belly black snakes are beautiful. - from a distance!
