Danger to humans

[edit]

Article mentions not being a danger to divers (without citation), but isn't it also true that the snakes cannot open their mouths wide enough to get a bite on most places on the human body?

Also, it would be nice to have something on their diet, habitat, other behavior. Piano non troppo (talk) 12:35, 2 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Description

[edit]

The description section does not meet standard on WikiProject Amphibians and Reptiles for description;

Description (physical, behavioral characteristics) - what makes this (group of) critter(s) different from its close relatives?

Moreover, it is unreadable to a layperson. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.51.25.50 (talk) 17:53, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Additional notes

[edit]
  1. ^ Compliance with other aspects of the Manual of Style, or the Manual of Style mainpage or subpages of the guides listed, is not required for good articles.
  2. ^ Either parenthetical references or footnotes can be used for in-line citations, but not both in the same article.
  3. ^ This requirement is significantly weaker than the "comprehensiveness" required of featured articles; it allows shorter articles, articles that do not cover every major fact or detail, and overviews of large topics.
  4. ^ Vandalism reversions, proposals to split or merge content, good faith improvements to the page (such as copy editing), and changes based on reviewers' suggestions do not apply. Nominations for articles that are unstable because of unconstructive editing should be placed on hold.
  5. ^ Other media, such as video and sound clips, are also covered by this criterion.
  6. ^ The presence of images is not, in itself, a requirement. However, if images (or other media) with acceptable copyright status are appropriate and readily available, then some such images should be provided.

Respiration

[edit]

One thing that the article does not make clear is whether these snakes can breathe while under water. Do they breathe air and hold their breathe while underwater, like marine mammals, or are they able to breathe underwater like fish?Bill (talk) 18:31, 29 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Billposer: All sea snakes cannot breathe underwater like fish, as stated in Hydrophiinae, since they don't have gills. This could be included in this article anyways to clarify. Sn1per (talk) 05:16, 16 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
