The snake is some type of a Sea Krait, genus Laticauda, reportedly the sixth most venomous snake in the world and they have almost no record of biting humans. Passive enough that children play with them.

WOW. ARENT THE BRIGHTLY COLORED SNAKES POISONUS??
Erik
Absolutely, they are poisonous, but their fangs are way back in their throats so they can only bite things that are small enough for them to swallow. Also they’re not aggressive, you can push them out of the way and they’ll swim off
