Baby monocled cobra (suphan)

[4theSNAKElady]

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.

Very pretty. Suphans are a naturally occurring color type so I wouldn't call them a morph.

N.samarensis are crazy. If they were 6ft instead of 3 ft, we would have evolved from them instead of primates.

Omg she's so cute! I love her little hood and her feisty little stance. What an amazing animal!

Very gorgeous! Obtaining a monocled is my first goal out of keeping non-natives. I just love the way they look.

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.

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.

You don't seem to really like your pet...

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.

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.

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.
