    Venomous sea snakes are, on a whole, ridiculously more venomous than venomous land snakes. As far I as recall.

      Like the very venomous coral snake:

      New World coral snakes possess one of the most potent venoms of any North American snake. However, relatively few bites are recorded due to their reclusive nature and the fact they generally inhabit sparsely populated areas. Even in areas that are densely populated, bites are rare.

      Also not to be confused with the non-venomous king snake:

      Two photos of snakes placed side by side. On the left is the coral snake who has stripes in a black pattern of black, yellow, red, yellow - with the yellow being small bands compared to the other colors. On the right is a king snake who has stripes in a pattern of red, black, yellow or off white, black - with the red parts being much larger than the other two colors.
