Re: Baby monocled cobra (suphan)
Omg sooo adorable! Ive heard from many hot keepers over the years that seeing a baby cobra hood up for the first time is one of the cutest things ever.

Baby monocled cobra (suphan)
Omg she's so cute! I love her little hood and her feisty little stance. What an amazing animal!

Go for a spectacled cobra, they look nicer :)

Thanks, yeah it is cute lol. But she's quite shy at the moment, so tends to just 'run' off, rather than hood.

N.samarensis are crazy. If they were 6ft instead of 3 ft, we would have evolved from them instead of primates.
Thanks, yeah they are, but i still consider them a morph as you get het suphan's, etc. Either way, it wasn't the way they're supposed to look :) They look worse like this in my opinion.

Haha! I'm 50/50. I do like it because it's cute, but i don't like the colour so much. Personal preference and all that, still get treated like any other animal i own - the best of everything :)

Oh, i also meant to say, samarensis are perfect for me, i prefer very defensive snakes! Keeps you on your toes.
Re: Baby monocled cobra (suphan)
I don't know much about hots. I myself will never have the guts to keep them. Just out of curiosity, Is this little one a venomoid? I think I'm stating that correctly. What I'm asking is whether or not he/she still has it's venom glands.

I would guess not. Most people 'round these parts don't take kindly to hot snakes that have had their venom glands and ducts removed.
I'm guessing it's as hot as a wood stove full of hickory with the damper wide open!
That post went strangely redneck lol.
I like my Dubstep to go Wop Wop Wop Wop

Not liking something is a personal choice but something being natural or not is a different matter. "It wasn't the way they're supposed to look." is a bold statement as everything used to look different at one point, right? Bone colored Suphan Cobras survive/thrive in the wild and that is enough for me to consider them a viable natural option.
I applaud your bravery with N.samarensis. They are my favorite cobra species but I really can not deal with the explosiveness. I also hate to wear goggles in my snake room. I was spat on by a N.pallida a few years ago so I know how "not wearing eye protection" feels like. ;)
