One final venomous addition
On a note of wrapping up new snakes while moving things to the new reptile room, my wife is giving me the chance to work with one of the neatest species out there! The Indochinese Spitting cobra! We got him settled in the new room solo for now, and a quick pick with him getting him settled. More to come!
Naja siamensis
In his trap box hide for secure moving and cleaning.
Cheers

That's just awesome! Out of curiosity, what kind or brand of enclosure are you using for him?
-

That is a beautiful animal. Glad you're wearing a face shield with him!

He's gorgeous, on top of the COOL factor as well! 
The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

Re: One final venomous addition
Thanks all.
Enclosure is a standard animal plastics T8 with sliding glass and keyed lock. The new room has its own cooling and heating system so no heat was put on this other than the lighting inside.
Face shield is #1 personal protective equipment requirement for spitters. They are safe when you keep that in place. Eh well safer. The beauty of a spitter is they are generally more prone to spit and run than try and bite non stop like some monocled cobras which don't spit.
He may be a cool snake, but remember hots are never part of a cool factor! It's all about admiration, respect, and following strict protocols!

Great addition. I'm a bit jealous.
Those spitting Naja's have an uncanny aim for eyes too.

Re: One final venomous addition
Some more than others! Siamensis does it pretty well, but the most accurate spitter in Naja is the samarensis! But even that's nothing compared to an adult Rhinkals! Thankfully captive specimens that are raised well spit very little

Re: One final venomous addition
A good look at his overall size in a 4 ft enclosure freshly misted after cleaning.
A quick snippet from a video I sent to my brother today after I unlocked his trap box and he came out to enjoy the fresh rain and lack of feces.
