I was walking on the beach early am (Dubai) and found this sea snake about 5 inches long on the sand. I wanted it to so badly so i netted it and put it in the bucket... driving home, i decided to google it and realized that it can be poisonous and venomous... I would not have worried but i got worried of the crap i would get at home from the boss (wife). Has anyone experienced a sea snake in their tanks? She is a beauty ... but ... what i read was more about leaving them alone Thoughts?
 
Sea snakes can be extremley poisonous and unless you are an experienced marine biologist doing research on the species I suggest leaving them alone. Some species can also get rather large and need a ton of room to swim through the water.
