    King Cobras? I wonder if the hospital has anti-venom? Otherwise, say good night. Is there anti-venom for sea snakes? or is it the coral snake that is venomous?

    Because of the small mouth of the animal, theres very few places on the human body a sea snake would be capable of biting. An ear or the webbing between your fingers would be about the only viable targets for an effective bite.

    But should a sea snake get a good venom inducing bite on ya', don't worry about going to the hospital.

    Just start shaking hands and saying your goodbyes.

    In the forest in Zamboanga, I saw a python curled up on the branches of a tree. I have also dug up a tiny black snake called a "dugho" in the garden in Zambo. The dugho eats ants and burrows underground. Last year, on a trip to Basay, a meter long young python crossed our jeep's path. I felt sorry for the road kill.
