The banded sea krait (Laticauda colubrina), also known as the colubrine sea krait, or yellow-lipped sea krait, is a species of venomous sea snake found in tropical Indo-Pacific oceanic waters. The snake has distinctive black stripes and a yellow snout, with a paddle-like tail for use in swimming. The banded sea kraits are widespread throughout the eastern Indian Ocean and Western Pacific.
