kraits

Kraits are highly venomous snakes found mainly in South and Southeast Asia. They are typically slender and have smooth, shiny scales with distinctive black and white or yellow bands. Kraits are usually nocturnal and prefer to stay hidden during the day, coming out at night to hunt. Their venom contains powerful neurotoxins that can affect the nervous system, potentially causing paralysis or breathing difficulties if not treated promptly. Despite their dangerous venom, kraits are generally shy and avoid human contact. Immediate medical attention and antivenom are essential in case of a bite.
