Elvis the King Cobra

At the sanctuary Elvis was out and about so I decided to snap a photo. He loves to hood out at anyone he sees outside of the enclosure, and once you turn around he strikes at the glass. He's a big boy too LOL.

Maybe if you took the time to read the ENTIRE original post, you wouldn't have had to ask that silly question.

Hope thats thick glass....I would have a heart attack :):)

not to hijack the thread but does anyone know the reason why venomous snakes are called "hots"?.

Nice pics Tiff. Be careful with that one...

Maybe because they are "loaded". I know in the military when we fly in to strike a target, we make the radio call, "Going in hot..."

I always thought it was because of the saying "Too HOT To Handle" in terms of them being venomous and how they are harder to hold.
