I have no experience but I have heard that they are difficult to keep in captivity.

In addition to needing specially shaped oval or round tanks, you would also need to keep them at the correct air and water temps, salinity and have a strong biolfilter to manage all the waste they produce.

I have also read that they need both underwater and out of water hiding spots. They are also apparently finicky eaters.

I am sure that since there are many species, that some may do better than others in captivity. There are several families - the Hydrophis, Enhydrina, Acalyptophis and Laticauda.

I'd check any info on Byran Grieg Fry (Venomdoc) as he has done a ton of work with these animals.
