Kraits are dangerous more often than not, because people try to catch them. They are docile serpents and rarely aggressive, unless cornered or hurt. Yellow sea kraits allow you to touch them underwater, but in a tide pool, they are mean SOB’s, because they can’t escape (I encountered several in low water tide pools in Fiji, once they get to deeper water and they go along their merry way) Leave them alone and they will leave you alone, good thing is - like king cobra’s, they eat other snakes, poisonous or not. Another good thing is they have very small fangs, and have to bite a few times - so most ‘bites’ are not bites at all, just ‘warnings’ A kid tried to sell me a snake he had in his pocket once in Lop Buri, he took it out and it was a small banded Krait, asked him how long he had it, he said 3 days, my GF told him it was poisonous, he shook his head and said he played with it all the time and it never bit him. I paid him for it and told him to let it go near the water……….guess he thought that was weird, but did what I told him. Peace
