The venomous Yellow-bellied sea snake is among the most venomous snakes in the world, and they haven’t been seen on the coast in about thirty years. The last recorded sighting was in San Diego in 1985 and Los Angeles Bay in 1961. They were also seen during the 1982-83 El Nino season in San Clemente in Orange County.
If someone sees one, that person is encouraged to be cautious of the potentially fatal creatures but take a photo and report the sighting to local lifeguards or online.
The snakes are typically, “Dark brown or black with a bright yellow or pale yellow underside which extends up the sides,” states CaliforniaHerps.com. Also known as pelamis platurus, the snake appears to have arrived in light of warmer El Niño waters that are bringing in other more tropical creatures as well. Reports of whale sharks and pelagic red crabs and hammerhead sharks have also cropped up during the period of warmer ocean waters.
A Hammerhead bit a kayaker in Malibu in early September. Additionally, two Hammerhead sightings occurred in late August in San Diego.
With winter is rapidly approaching, the precursors of El Nino are expected to subside as severe weather patterns are predicted to bring a decade of rainy winters. While this doesn’t guarantee an end to the California drought, it’ll certainly be a good start, snakes or not.

Couldn’t happen to a better State instead of snakes on a plane snakes in a state.
Angel Toro are you saying that the way the refugees are carrying on in Europe is because of Islam? If that is what you are saying then , yes, I dislike it. As far a generalizing, since California has such a liberal state, it stands to reason that some will end up there. Not a bigot, just like for people to behave themselves. Europe took them in to help and they are causing chaos. If they don’t like the way things are done in Europe then they need to go back where they came from.
