Golden bellied sea serpents

The golden bellied sea serpents (known as the goldbelly for short) are a species of sea snakes that inhabit the oceans of Chaoterra and are one of the top predators of its time.

Etymology
The goldbellies generic name Cymboserpens consists out of the latin words cymba, meaning boat, and serpens, meaning snake. This probably references the goldbelly's enormous size.

Description
The golden bellied sea serpents are the most heaviest and longest venomous snake in chaoterra, reaching a maximum length of up to 10 meters (32.8 feet) long. Typical mature specimens range up to 6.1 meters (20 feet), with adult females averaging up to 5.4 meters (17.7 feet), being much larger than males averagely. Weights are much less studied, but reports suggest that they range from 71 kg (156 lbs) to 154 kg (339 lbs) typically. It is the largest snake to roam the oceans of chaoterra, and the largest snake in the animal kingdom, only to be surpassed by the extinct Titanoboa. The color pattern consists of a completely golden head with the rest of the gold being in its underbelly along with a blackish grey upper side with a few of it in its tail.

Behaviour
Golden bellied sea serpents are primarily nocturnal and tend to spend more than most of its life underwater, only laying its eggs on land. They have the potential to reach high speeds while swimming underwater. They tend to ambush their prey by floating beneath the surface of corals, lying still and waiting for its prey, when its prey passes by, it strikes by biting on the prey's weak spots and then coils it for safe keeping, after that it swallows the prey whole when the prey is suffocated. This tactic is very similar to the hunting tactic of the green anaconda, a species of earth, this is likely due to the anaconda leaving its niche vacant in chaoterra and the goldbelly filling that vacant niche.

Diet
Golden bellied sea serpents hunted on large aquatic prey, and occasionally, maritime sauramphastids if they could. They also hunted krayt serpents and other marine creatures.
