    Re: Indo-Chinese spitting cobra

    Wow she's amazing! Cobras are just stunning but I don't plan on ever owning hots.

    Re: Indo-Chinese spitting cobra

    Stupid question, but are the spitting cobras capable of biting?
    And injecting venom, of course.

    Indeed they can, no different to any other cobra. The spitting is more of a defensive (get away from me) thing, where the actual bite is for killing prey.

    Thanks. Yeah, they are, as long as they hood! My mate has a few monocled cobras that don't bother hooding anymore - defeats the point in owning a cobra lol.

    No different to any enclosures that you use for your snakes.

    She's in a normal viv, just with screwed in vets so she can't push them out, and a lock on the door.

    That's all you have to really worry about really, vents! Although with tiny baby snakes, I keep them in small plastic boxes, as obviously they would escape from a viv.

    Re: Indo-Chinese spitting cobra

    I have decided if I ever own a hot I want a copperhead, aside from balls that is my faverite snake to admire.

    this girl though is really Queen looking (no Queen is not a typo) she is boss dude

    Re: Indo-Chinese spitting cobra

    Such a gorgeous girl! I love this type of cobra and they are so awesome because of the way they hood up. Very impressive indeed!

    Agreed. I've seen a bunch of long term captive naja that won't hood. Without the hood you might as well have a rat snake. At least then you don't have to worry about getting bit when you clean the cage every 3 days lol.

    Exactly! It's quite annoying when they do that lol. Better to stick to the real fighty Naja species as they tend to be aggro their whole life!

    That why I don't understand why any venomous keeper would want a coral snake?!?! Might as well have a milk snake and save yourself the hassle of dealing with something highly venomous.
