Reply	Anonymous says: I am no reptile expert, but I have two observations.(1) If the locals know about it, it has probably been there for some time. And if they say it is poisonous, I would suggest that you believe them.(2) I do know something about invasive species. Even if sea snakes are not native to the Atlantic or the Caribbean Sea that does not mean they might not now be established there. The international trade in exotic reptiles seems to know no bounds and has been very good at indirectly introducing new species around the world.  (no votes) Tags: animals, human body.

Reply	dan-patent-man says: Ther are no venomous sea snakes in the Atlantic Ocean, yet. Were such snakes to invade that ocean it would become apparent very fast. Pacific ocean fish instinctively avoid sea snakes, as a survival adaptation. Atlantic fish have no such built in instinct. The Atlantic fish slaughter would be significantamp; rapid. The animal that was seen may have been an eel. [but not probably a moray eel]. there are many snake-like fish, like pipe fish, that could have quot;played the partquot;. indeed some of my smaller inlaws may have been so mistaken. The panama Canal was proposed to be built 7 enlarged to be built totally at sea level. Sea snake migration vetoed that idea.  (no votes) Tags: animals, human body.

Reply	McShave says: The description you gave of the creature doesn't really match that of a sea snake, almost all of them have multi-coloured markings on them in the form of stripes.I'm no eel expert, but seeing as there are 350 spieces of them it sounds like that is what you saw.  (no votes) Tags: animals, human body.

Reply	Mark Tait says: I was night fishing last night in 80 feet of water, outside the reef, 7 miles from Big Pine Key Florida when a 3 foot long, obvious snake, came to the surface attracted by our lights. I#39;ve Lived here 15 years and this was not an eel. It had a triangular shaped head and a yellow body with irregular shaped brown or tan bands or markings. It swam around for a couple of minuites and then went back to the bottom. If this wasn#39;t a sea snake what was it?  (no votes) Tags: animals, human body.
