Venom from a terrestrial snake, Notechis scutatus (tiger snake), was used as a reference. All venoms (1 and 3 mg/ml) abolished indirect twitches of the chick biventer cervicis muscle and significantly inhibited responses to ACh (1 mM) and CCh (20 mM), but not KCl (40 mM), indicating the presence of post-synaptic toxins. Prior administration (10 min) of CSL sea snake antivenom (1 unit/ml) attenuated the twitch blockade produced by N. scutatus venom and all sea snake venoms (1 mg/ml). Prior administration (10 min) of CSL tiger snake antivenom (1 unit/ml) attenuated the twitch blockade of all venoms except those produced by E. schistosa (Malaysia and Weipa) and A. foliosquamatus. Administration of CSL sea snake antivenom (1 unit/ml) at t90 (i.e. time at which 90% inhibition of initial twitch height occurred) reversed the inhibition of twitches (20–50%) produced by the sea snake venoms (1 mg/ml) but not by N.

TSD has been regularly found in brackish waters, including various other snakes, demonstrated for loggerhead (Caretta caretta), green (Chelonia mydas), the saltwater crocodile, and the marine iguana of the Galapagos leatherback (Dermochelys coriacea) and olive ridley (Lepidochelys Islands.

Since TSD is often sensitive to small changes in the tropical and subtropical waters of the Indian and Pacific in temperature, global warming may eventually affect sex ratios in Oceans from the east coast of Africa to the Gulf of Panama.
