Sea snakes in the U.S.A.

[Hipporex]

Are sea snakes kept any where in the U.S.A.? The only thing I could find is this video of a banded sea krait (Laticauda colubrina) supposedly at the Aquarium of the Pacific (in Long Beach, CA) (

) but when I went to the aquarium's website, it said, "Banded sea kraits do not have an Aquarium of the Pacific habitat."(Aquarium of the Pacific | Online Learning Center | Banded Sea Krait) Thanks for any information you have.

Googling "Aquarium of the Pacific sea krait" shows that they did indeed keep them a few years ago.

They did have one, I saw it in person in 2015, but unfortunately they no longer keep a banded sea krait.

I found a couple references on line about Waikiki Aquarium keeping a yellow bellied sea snake, but I have no idea if it is still there. There are also some pictures of what looks like a sea krait at Ripley's Aquarium - Myrtle Beach.
