''Conus pictus'' is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Conidae, the cone snails and their allies.〔 Like all species within the genus ''Conus'', these snails are predatory and venomous. They are capable of "stinging" humans, therefore live ones should be handled carefully or not at all. ;Subspecies: * ''Conus pictus pictus'' Reeve, 1843 * ''Conus pictus transkeiensis'' Korn, W. 1998 (synonym: ''Sciteconus pictus transkeiensis'' Korn, 1998) ==Description== The size of the shell varies between 26 mm and 50 mm. The shell is chestnut-colored, with two or three pink bands, and a few narrow lines, ornamented with reddish or chestnut spots. The spire is maculated. 〔 (G.W.
