Yellow Sea Snake

The yellow sea snake is a venomous sea snake, perhaps the longest of all sea snakes at up to 3.0 m, although most do not exceed 2.0 m. It is active by both day and night. The colour is yellowish or yellowish-green above, with the back scales edged in black and 41 to 46 narrow black bands around the body. In young snakes the head is black with a yellow horseshoe-shaped marking, while in adults it is usually yellow (Wikipedia, general species account).

It is found from the Persian Gulf and the Indian Ocean through South and South-east Asia to New Guinea and New Caledonia, and has been reported at depths of 50 m. The account lists India including the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, and the Reptile Database lists Gujarat.
