Most sea snakes reach a size of about 1.2-1.4 meters. But in several species, the length exceeds 2.5 m (Hydrophis cyanocinctus) and even 2.75 m (Hydrophis spiralis). The females are usually noticeably larger than the males. The weight of a snake depends on the species, s*x and nutrition. Ringed flattail (Laticauda colubrina) with a body length of about 1.8 m weighs about 0.9-1.3 kg (Voris et al. 1998).

According to molecular data, their closest relatives among modern lizards are iguana and fusiform, which together form the clade Toxicofera. Some morphological studies indicate that mosasaurs are also included in this clade, and they are a sister group of snakes [5
