Sea snakes don t like to leave the ocean so if they do end up on the beach, there s an underlying issue of an illness and injury, Mr Chapman said. Being a highly venomous animal, the last thing we need is somebody or a pet, having a bad encounter. Mr Chapman has been called out to a steady stream of sea snake findings recently receiving one to two calls a week. He said the area from Mudjimba up to Castaway s Bay had been a hotspot for the creatures. It s a lot of the weather that dictates it and our ocean is popular and busy so things do happen, accidents like we ll see snakes come in that have been clipped by a propeller, he said.
