Sea snake young are found in the Miscellania and Etceteria dungeon, which can be entered during and after the Royal Trouble quest. A Slayer level of 40 is required to receive a sea snakes Slayer task, but they can be killed at any level. The snakes are poisonous, with the poison starting at 7 damage. Players fighting them should bring poison protection of some sort, such as an antipoison or superantipoison. They attack with Melee and are vulnerable to Magic, especially earth spells. Their unique drop is the water sapphire, which is shared with the sea snake hatchling.

Players can use the blue eggs halfway through the tunnel as a safespot. A Dwarf multicannon can be used, but with reduced effectiveness due to the area being single-way combat.
