Elapidae is a family of venomous snakes found in tropical and subtropical regions around the world, terrestrially in Asia, Australia, Africa, North America and South America and aquatically in the Pacific and Indian Oceans. Elapid snakes exist in a wide range of sizes, from 7 inches to the 18 foot King Cobra, and are characterized by hollow, fixed fangs through which they inject venom. Currently, 61 genera that include 325 species are recognized. All elapids are venomous and many are deadly. Some elapids are strongly arboreal, while many others are more or less specialised burrowers in either humid or arid environments. Some species have very generalised diets, but many taxa have narrow prey preferences and correlated specialisations. Sea snakes, which are also elapids, have adapted to a marine way of life. Here you may post messages or questions pertaining to all aspects and issues regarding the keeping, breeding, health, and conservation of Elapids.
