Default My cobras have arrived (with pics)!!

My pair of Indiochinese spitting cobras (Naja siamensis), bred by Pete Gibbins, arived earlier tonight. All I can say is OMG, they are unbelievable!

I took a couple of pics during rehousing. I'll get some better pics once they settle in. Hope you like







Thank you Pete, and thank you otb2, these two beauties are amazing.

Might be a stupid question, but it's an honest one...


Do they actually spit at this age, or is that saved for later? If not, when do they start? If so, how 'good' are they (in terms of distance/accuracy) compared to the adults?


Stunning snakes BTW!

Yes they do. I can't be sure on how well, as I've spoke to people with very different experiences.

When rehousing the male, he hissed a lot, but never spat. The female moved calmly, but once on her tub, she hooded up and spat downwards, in a spray type way. By what I saw, I'd estimate that they can reach around a foot or so.

EDIT: Forgot to add. The amount of venom that came out was barely noticable. I doubt it could reach my eyes, but I wear protection anyways.
