I'd love to try, but sea snakes are the only reptiles that are not allowed in Florida under an invasive aquatic species law... Zoos can theoretically get them under strict conditions with a $1,000,000 letter of credit (males only).

Make sure you show this to your friend. Most people probably don't know about this, and he would be in violation if he imported them.

OK... At this point I suspect he was actually talking about tentacled snakes...a fresh-water, aquatic snake that IS legal in Florida. Is that possible? They are said to be hard to keep, but they are not sea snakes, not venomous and not banned...
