The Krait is a highly venomous snake found primarily in South and Southeast Asia. It belongs to the family Elapidae and is known for its distinctive black and yellow banding. There are several species of Krait, with the Banded Krait being one of the most recognized. These snakes are nocturnal and tend to be shy, often hiding during the day. Kraits primarily feed on small mammals, lizards, and other snakes. Their venom is potent, containing neurotoxins that can cause paralysis in their prey. Despite their dangerous bite, Krait encounters with humans are relatively rare, as they prefer to avoid confrontation.
