Laticauda colubrina or yellow-lipped sea krait is a venomous snake usually found in cracks of cliffs and under rocks on the shores of small islands.  The yellow-lipped sea krait is called so because it has yellow lips and its head is marked black and yellow with the yellow markings extending from the snout to a line between its eyes and has creamy or grey snout and labials. Above, it is light or dark bluish-grey with 24-26 uniformly wide, black bands encircling its body with 3-5 more on its paddle-like tail that is used for swimming. The ventral surface (its belly) is yellowish between the black bands. This krait can grow to about 1.3 – 1.6 m in length and adult females are usually larger than adult males and prefer hunting in deeper water for a single larger prey while the adult males prefer hunting in shallower water for multiple smaller preys. It will then return to land in order to digest its prey which includes moray eels and small fishes. This krait is oviparous making it the only sea snake that lay eggs and comes ashore to breed.
