Nice snake, although a little beat up.
The rostral scale looks to be from shipping, or glass rub (due to the freshness) What type of material are they shipped in, and how do they take to vivaria? Also the pink on the neck, is that brusing/abbrasion or just colouring? Hope you dont mind the Q's Regards Dan

Hi Dan: No worries mate  The bags they're shipped in are the worst possible for snakes (see the mesh bag the mamba was inside on the "Yikes" thread) He is actually in good shape compared to some snakes sent from Africa in April 2007. They were just above "Road Kill" grade animal. I ended up euthanizing 5 Jamison Mambas who had broken jaws and fangs ripped out.  I don't do business with exporters who send me abused animals, so he is on my "banned list" I have video of me tending to his damage that I'll try to get edited & uploaded soon. He has the nose rub and some scale damage you noted towards the bottom of his hood. He was not as bad (behaved) as I expected but took a few swings at me anyway. At least he did not chase me out of the room like other had in the past

Great pictures, a species I hadn't actually seen a photo of in captivity as most people seem to go for slightly more flashy species of cobra, so nice to see
Hope the nose heals up well... it must be quite tricky administrating medical treatment to snakes that you usually wouldn't get that close to?

Thanks As I said I have video of him being worked, watered, subdued, and treated. All useful to see how it's done correctly & safely for both participants. Cheers! Al
