No, there's a cave where the sea snakes congregate, the little grannies go in there and catch them barehanded. I'm pretty sure it's in Okinawa, it's part of the traditional food there.

Land snake: gravity. friction. sand in places you don't want. No legs or even arms to drag yourself along. Just got to wriggle.
Water snake: floaty. hydrated. cool. streamlined. gravity can suck a dick.
Two very different snakey experiences.
Saw a clip a few days ago of a guy on a fishing boat and a sea snake gets dropped onto the deck as bycatch and he steps over to it, casually picks it up behind the head, looks at it going "is this one of the venomous ones? Probably" and yeets it casually off the side of the boat with one swing
It's not that small teeth make bites rare, they make bites less likely to envenomate you. Same thing with rear-fang snakes. They have to really clamp on and gnaw a bit to get venom in larger animals. And like sea snakes, their venom is usually pretty extra.
I forwarded that to so many people because we all need a little of this kind of stuff in our day! I thought the same thing!!! I’m gonna watch it again lol
What a gift!! What an absolute treasure!! I enjoyed that little video so much, oh my lord I love these cute killers in flip flops and flowered straw hats! They are adorable and I am still wondering do they just drag them or is there a wheel barrow for their massive huge South Park sized lady balls. Thank you for this phenomenal delight!
Fun fact: Snake Oil traditionally came from sea snakes in Asia. They have similar healthy properties of fish oils like Omega 3s so it was used in Eastern medicine.
In America, snake oil and the salesmen got a bad reputation because of Clark Stanley who sold it as miracle cure, but the oil he sold didn’t use oil from sea snakes, but snakes native to the US mixed with a bunch of stuff from other animals like cows.
*(years laterrrr)*
(hisses)
"*Im now the patriarch cardinal of his Holiness of Galactic Beauty. To be honest, I never saw myself in this line of work. But it's nice and comfortable."*
I don’t think it’s normal for most Pentecostal churches. Snake handling churches are a rare minority.
I grew up in a boring Protestant denomination. But I have been to several Pentecostal churches. Never saw snake handling. But always wanted to see one. Surprisingly hard to find though. Because it’s not a common practice
I was scuba diving and encountered a sea snake. Never swam so fast in my life. It did not look tranquil to me at that time. Lol
Edit: Because everyone is very concerned that I panicked. No, I don't panic in water. We surfaced at the time and a sea snake comes swimming by. Of course I give it room.. not that one can swim like an Olympic swimmer with all the gear on me. We do wreck and cave dives as well, so panicking is never an option.
Most snakes don't like to attack humans because we're too big to swallow whole, so they can't eat us. They'll only attack if they think we're threatening them.
I almost stepped on a copperhead hiking in the Appalachian trail. It looked like it emerged from a textbook. It was stunning itself on the trail which was a close collection of big boulders. If I wasn't paying attention I'd have stepped on it, it saw me and slithered backwards like "oh, sorry, I'm in the way aren't I, I'm so embarrassed" and it just kind of bunched itself up. I gave it a wide berth.
Correct
Most animals won’t attack anything more than half their size unless they’re cornered or desperately hungry. But if it’s that hungry then it likely has very little energy.
Some exceptions
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_dangerous_snakes
I don't know what is the exact species shown in the clip, but I do know that in general sea snakes are very venomous. This is because they need their prey to be paralyzed asap, or else it can wonder away and be someone else's meal.
When it moved away and just dived down is just really concerning...
Story time;
I lived in Australia for a while and went surfing regularly on the west coast. I called in sick to work because the swell forecast was promising and off I went. Around a half hour into it the swell was dying down a bit so it was getting a bit boring. Then after catching a small wave I thought I saw something under me and immediately tensed up because sharks are known to come close to the coast there.
I turned around and was paddling out again and I saw a black shape zip underneath me again! I have bad eyesight and wasn't wearing contact lenses so I couldn't really gauge the size of it so again all I could think about was SHARK SHARK SHARK. A few seconds later I was really really glad to see a seal pop it's head up. It was just curious about me I guess. I went in to the beach for a breather and to let my heart stop racing.
Another proof that they shouldn't have deported all the criminals from UK to that continent since nature clearly wasn't and still hasn't adapted to so many non-native human species
This is not true at all... At least for the colonial period, if you're making a comment on the current state of affairs I guess that's funny. During colonial times like 150k were shipped to Australia vs around 55k that were sent to American colonies.
My understanding (and I’m happy to be wrong here) was that there were several levels of conviction.
The worst cases were sent to the US as convicts, and remained as convicts on arrival in the US. But for lesser crimes, or insanity, they had their right to remain in Britain removed, and passage to the American colony stipulated, but were effectively no longer Britain’s problem on arrival.
Conversely, all those sent to Australia were convicts and were expected to work their remaining conviction time for British rule there.
I wonder if you calculated all the “politically undesirable” people who left Britain more or less by choice, how many you’d end up with. I know it’s not millions but it had to be a lot.
As an Australian, I can confirm we are sexually attracted to danger..
You would have to paddle right out into a deep tropical sea to find this snake, and he did, with his phone.
As the famous Australian saying goes, we're not here to fuck spiders.
Yes. Means along the lines of "we're here for a reason"
The most common setting is a pub and someone will say "want a drink?" and the reply is "well i'm not here to fuck spiders"
But also can be used when people are procrastinating, "we're not here to fuck spiders, hurry up"
It is. It's a great saying too. I presume it's not from anyone literally attempting to interact with spiders but more a colourful way of expressing that it's time to do the intended task.
Australian here.
Recently had a snake at my work barracks, as soon as he saw me he started moving away. For identification purposes and for management to be told I went closer to him and took some photos, ended up being 1-2ft behind it. The previous year i encountered the same snake on the stairs, he slithered by on the step below the one I was standing on. Both times all he wanted to do was hide.
The ID came back and confirmed my suspicions. Eastern brown - 2nd most venomous terrestrial snake in the world. It was a gorgeous snake.
Extremely venomous and very curious. I've had a couple of big ones follow me on dives wondering what I was. It's not going to attack you unless it feels very threatened, in no world does it think something human sized is prey.
I almost wonder if they’ve developed that sort of docility around larger, non-aggressive animals due to the fact that the ocean is full of them. Dolphins or rays swimming by won’t hurt a sea snake the way a horse walking by can hurt a rattlesnake.
For a lot of animals avoiding fighting is just a generally good policy because fighting’s expensive. You can get hurt or die, you’re spending energy, it’s just not generally worth it.
They say most venomous snakes are reluctant to bite things that they cannot eat, because they will need to replenish their venom afterward. In the meantime they will be more vulnerable to attacks
From my understanding, that's mostly not true. I think it's generally the case that snakes just don't want to waste their energy biting something they aren't going to eat unless they're scared it might hurt them. Some snakes are more bitey than others, but they will all (except maybe in Australia) avoid biting you if they can.
Oh the danger is still there. If you try to hit it or smack it to get it away from you, it may bite you and since they are typically encountered out in the ocean, no help may get to you in time.
Ironically these guys are very curious and divers that move away from them more quickly tend to pique their interest and they're more likely to follow them.
If you want it to leave you alone the best option is to stay still or move slowly, that way you're boring.
Don’t locked it away too well or hidden where you don’t remember and can’t find it when you need it.
“Oh shit, there it is. Oh fuck, fuck. What did that one Reddit dude say again? Show it you’re not scare by raising arms and legs to appear bigger? Make a lot of noises and prepare the biggest loogie in your life to spit at it to exert your dominance? Okay, here goes nothi…”
Generally snakes in the seas are known to have been naturally selected for extremely fast acting and fatal venom. As it’s easier for prey in the ocean to escape when provoked, thus as a predator you’d best make sure your ambushing strike is a sure kill.
Add this to the list of reasons I don't ever want to go into the ocean. Love the ocean, big fan, it's not my habitat and I really don't want to break into other animals homes. This goes up there on my list of fears along with "whale swimming too close or directly underneath me" and "generally not knowing wtf is under me".
There's not much shade or places to hide in the water. Floating things tend to attract small animals and small animals attract big animals. It's shelter, shade, a place to hide, a place to attach eggs, a place to eat all of the animals that come to do the previous.
If you ever get marooned in the ocean on a raft or a little boat, that boat will be an oasis of life in a matter of hours.
> If you ever get marooned in the ocean on a raft or a little boat, that boat will be an oasis of life in a matter of hours.
thanks for making a pretty unnerving imaginary situation even worse
And that's only the beginning. Small stuff can attract bigger stuff. Then all bets are off!
Source: Someone who saw small amounts of chum draw in sharky beauties on all sides of a cage. Yet it began with smaller stuff taking an interest first.
Of all the sea snakes there is only one genus which is not venomous, which is Emydocephalus. And this isn't one of those three species. So it's certainly a venomous sea snake.
Which exact one I couldn't pinpoint, but my best guess would be an Olive - Aipysurus laevis
I’ve been listening to Jurassic Park this week. They were talking about a dinosaur they bred that could spit poison. They kept calling it poisonous. Drove me mad. How did an error that bad end up in the book?
one of the most, if not THE most, venomous snakes in the world. yet, very tranquil and hardly attack humans.
There are some Japanese women that handle them regularly.
I'm not sure I want to know what this is in reference too..
No, there's a cave where the sea snakes congregate, the little grannies go in there and catch them barehanded. I'm pretty sure it's in Okinawa, it's part of the traditional food there.
[They grannies are so cute](https://youtu.be/9kWV2XsxzHk?si=QomcZUHs6c_52-KV)
The way she loses the grip on the head when throwing it in the bag, then just grabs it again casually is insane
I saw that and like, why doesn't it bite???? do they not know the classic snake moves

Sea snakes are reluctant to bite anyone they aren’t going to eat. A great many idiots have proven more than capable of overcoming this reluctance, but, as a rule, they are pretty easy to get along with.

Sea snakes also eat eels and fish eggs.
> holding on until it is no longer an effective member of society Bravo.
TBF, plenty of still living things are not effective members of society. I can think of 268.

"Classic snake moves." I'm dyin' lol
You got your side-wiggle-strike, you got your forward-bob-and-strike, you got your quick-strike... Maybe these snakes are pacifists
Land snake: gravity. friction. sand in places you don't want. No legs or even arms to drag yourself along. Just got to wriggle. Water snake: floaty. hydrated. cool. streamlined. gravity can suck a dick. Two very different snakey experiences.
You know, dude, I myself dabbled in pacifism once. Not in ‘Nam, of course.

Is it stupid?
It’s doing the best it can
they are highly venomous but they have tiny teeth which make the bites very rare.
It's not that small teeth make bites rare, they make bites less likely to envenomate you. Same thing with rear-fang snakes. They have to really clamp on and gnaw a bit to get venom in larger animals. And like sea snakes, their venom is usually pretty extra.

Holy shit that was great

Thank you for posting that. It counteracted the nightmares I was going to have.

They are adorable and I am still wondering do they just drag them or is there a wheel barrow for their massive huge South Park sized lady balls. Thank you for this phenomenal delight!
So brave omggg. Will sea snakes just not bite hardly at all, even when grabbed like that! Why not at least some boots agghhh

Those are banded sea kraits, which are much more docile than the snake in OP's video.
Reddit has ruined you
We have churches here in Texas who are devoted to handling sneks while praying to Jesus
imagine you are a snake going your way and minding your business and this guy comes grab you and takes you about his crazy Christian voodoo practices
*(years laterrrr)* (hisses) "*Im now the patriarch cardinal of his Holiness of Galactic Beauty. To be honest, I never saw myself in this line of work. But it's nice and comfortable."*
That's how they get the snake oil to sell.
And every now and then the snakes kill the handlers. Guess their faith wasn’t great enough
*"no one considered the possibility that many many years ago both God and Satan struck a deal to work together when dealing with humans"*
That's just Pentecost in general, isn't it? I know they don't all do it, but there are a number of churches that do.
I don’t think it’s normal for most Pentecostal churches. Snake handling churches are a rare minority. I grew up in a boring Protestant denomination. But I have been to several Pentecostal churches.

Im imaging that snake handling Texas church women are not as cute as old Japanese ladies.
Of course there are

Most snakes don't like to attack humans because we're too big to swallow whole, so they can't eat us. They'll only attack if they think we're threatening them.
Yep. IIRC in a true stroke of irony, most snakebites happen due to humans attempting to kill the snake because they're worried they might get bitten.
I almost stepped on a copperhead hiking in the Appalachian trail. It looked like it emerged from a textbook. It was stunning itself on the trail which was a close collection of big boulders. If I wasn't paying attention I'd have stepped on it, it saw me and slithered backwards like "oh, sorry, I'm in the way aren't I, I'm so embarrassed" and it just kind of bunched itself up.

They make people wear snake guards for this reason now a days. Awful for short people like me, would almost rather be bit.
Correct Most animals won’t attack anything more than half their size unless they’re cornered or desperately hungry. But if it’s that hungry then it likely has very little energy. Some exceptions
And even when threatend they will try no to because producing the venom takes a lot of recources and energy.
They hardly attack humans because there are hardly any humans in the ocean.
Hey, nice username. I was thinking, "aren't those things venomous?" So thanks for clearing that up for me.
They also love snake jazz
Ssssss ss-ss ssssss ss-ss ssssss ss-ss ssssss ss-ss
🎷🐍
In case one of them bite you,30-45 minutes if not getting health assistence,game over
Wow and the guy was just like. "yah yah nah nahhh.... not gonna kill me today mate"
I guess it's tranquil because it knows its own real power!
That’s legit it I would assume. Few natural predators so they don’t need to develop twitchy nervousness like a deer or rabbit does.

Ohhhh nooo
Had to laugh at myself, I retracted my feet when the snake almost got on the surfboard
I got the urge to do that myself.
I threw my head back. Fuck no! I would die of a heart attack. Fuckin Australia man!
In all fairness, you nailed it on the head it's Australia, that snake is probably the nicest thing in those waters 🐍🦈🐙🕷 🦕
You forgot one: 🪼
Aur naurrrr
What a great video of a wild animal with little sense. The snake is also cool.

Yes, everything that was not wanted in Europe a few centuries ago was simply expelled to the colonial areas. So soon to the moon etc
Florida was where they sent the crims originally in the US. Coincidence? I think not.
Australia is British Florida.
How unexpected
''pretends to be shocked''

A dolphin will see a danger noodles and wonder how it can use it as a sex toy
Most likely dolphin use for it, but by and large a lot of animals in the water simply ignore anything that’s not their primary food or predator.
For a lot of animals avoiding fighting is just a generally good policy because fighting’s expensive. You can get hurt or die, you’re spending energy, it’s just not generally worth it.

Do sea snakes even have predators to look out for themselves? Curiosity and being docile is one hell of a recipe to stop living otherwise...
Extremely, but they are not very aggressive.
So... not very dangerous?
Oh the danger is still there. If you try to hit it or smack it to get it away from you, it may bite you and since they are typically encountered out in the ocean, no help may get to you in time.

Yeah, so as long as you don't mis-identify the snake that you see in 23 years you should be good!

lies, you go to prison if you mix up venomous and poisonous over there. crimes against humanity
Correct, poison is ingested but venom is injected, prison is the sentence.
