Weight snake depends on the species, sex, and diet. Laticauda laticaudata with a body length of about 1.8 m weighs about 0.9-1.3 kg. The body shape is also different in different species. For example, a particularly large Astrotia stokesii ratio of thickness to length of the body. Many species are especially Hydrophis narrow head and cervical spine, which is why earlier mistakenly believe that they eat fine fish like eels.
