Abstract
The first authenticated record of the Yellow-lipped Sea Krait ('Laticauda colubrina') in the Northern Territory resulted from a request to remove a snake from the grounds of the Sky City Casino, on the eastern shores of Darwin Harbour, in October 2014. The colouration of the snake, a female, closely resembled museum specimens from Indonesia. Speculation on its presence in Darwin Harbour include being a ship's stowaway, swimming from nearby Indonesian islands, or a member of an, as yet, unauthenticated Northern Territory population from the islands of Arnhem Land. The sea krait was released alive in the mangrove habitat at East Point Reserve.
