SWIMMING WITH VENOMOUS SNAKES! (New Caledonia, 2018)

What snake lives in the ocean, but isn’t a sea snake? These highly venomous snakes are called sea kraits, and there’s a few differences between them and sea snakes. Sea kraits lay eggs, and have to come up on land to lay them while sea snakes give live birth out at sea. Like sea snakes, sea kraits also have evolved a paddle tail, but have belly scales like snakes that live on land. So come and meet the sea krait, New Caledonia’s only native snake!

Swimming with snakes and sharks. One brave person. Thanks for letting me live thru your crazy adventures. Pretty amazing stuff.

[levigowens]

Damn you're brave man. I don't care how docile I won't ever free handle a venomous snake. Rattle on brother

[jasonlongton]

I watched and enjoyed the old series, but these on location videos, showing the animals in their natural environments, are a whole other level. This is *really* cool stuff.

Dav, your very lucky to be able to have these adventures, and thank you very much for sharing them wit the rest of us.

Kraits are some of the most humble venomous snakes ever.

[IrieRogue]

Oh wow, killer footage! I've been fascinated by kraits since I was a child, they are gorgeous snakes. Lol, poisonality. They seem like sweet little cherubs, so well mannered.

[kls]

your videos are helping me to see the beauty in all of nature

[hazenaudel]

Love it man!! Keep showing the world these beautiful creatures

[smetlogik]

You cray cray 🤪 but that was one COOL snake.

[shelleoshelle]

Boy that water is gorgeous.
“Poisonality”? Oh Dāv...

[Pwnagotchi-]

Great video, great message, great humor. You sir, are a genius

[nicolelondon]

Sweet, had been waiting for this one. I hadn't realized the differences between kraits and sea snakes - the wide ventral scales explain how that first one you saw got up the tree so easily. They're like halfway between a terrestrial and a sea snake. Beautiful creatures.

[jjwingtech]

That was awesome! Looking forward to your Australian adventures!

[oogway]

Hes so calm man! He just does not care about you handling it

[BrianGundy]

Great video Dav, I love your point at the end.

We're all living vicariously through your videos.

Where are we off to next?

Nice video! Keep 'em coming dude. It took you until you were 9 to get obsessed with reptiles? What took you so long? :-)

I got hooked at 5 after catching a gopher snake under my Dad's car. He got me my first exotic for my 8th birthday.

Rattle on dude.

[BillPerryBCPythons]

Great sea krait video and information!!! Thanks for sharing and not keeping it a "seakrait"!🐍

[louv]

Loved your old stuff but really love the new stuff Dave!

[TaleRavenTarot]

I honestly had no idea there were any snakes that could live in the ocean! Very cool.

[shellyb]

It’s so hard to find a lot of info on venomous sea snakes thanks for doing this one I want to learn more about them but it’s quite difficult online lol

[ryanmoeller]

sir... Next time you go somewhere awesome like New Caledonia.. Can I put myself into your carry-on luggage?? Haha. Keep up the great work my friend.
