The banded krait (Bungarus fasciatus) is a highly venomous species of elapids endemic to Asia, from Indian Subcontinent through Southeast Asia to Southern China.[1][2][3] With a maximum length exceeding 2 m (6 ft 7 in), it is the longest krait with a distinguishable gold and black pattern.[4] While this species is generally considered timid and docile, resembling other members of the genus, its venom is highly neurotoxic which is potentially lethal to humans. Although toxicity of the banded krait based upon murine LD50 experiments is lower than that of many other kraits, its venom yield is the highest due to its size.[5]
