Default spitting cobra

Here are some photos of a Indo chinese or black and white spitting cobra. When i got him around 4 monthe ago he was in a bit of a state with what first seemed to be a retained eyecap or two also he had a very bulbus nose which has gone down a fair bit now, but when we i tried to remove the eyecap we realised it was not a retained eyecap and the eye looked like it had completely gon and was grey wrinckled but over the last few months the eye is looking as near to normal as it should and it seems it now has some sort of sight back. he also didnt spit at all for the first couple of months but now he has got pretty good at it. so today after cleaning his cage out i thought i would see how good the missis is at taking photos...lol

That is a lovely snake i think there was an african species on life in cold blood and that sprayed all over the head guard that david attenborough was wearing. How effective are the glasses when he does spit?

usually if he is going to spit its when you open the viv and try and get him out once he is out he has only ever had one go at spitting at me. i am only wearing those safety goggles as the other half was wearing the mask to take the photos
