One final venomous addition

[Neal]

I don't think I'd ever get a spitting cobra.

You wouldn't want to have this fun Neal?

just wear PPE! Got sprayed pretty heavy yesterday. Fresh shed and was cleaning the cage.

Disinfectant - then again with warm water over it to get all residue. It's safe to handle just don't get it in a cut and you're good.

Curiously... is there any way to condition them to not spit/bite at you?

Just staying calm around them typically keeps them in check. Some species are just bad though. Samar are notorious for constantly spraying you. Philippines as well. Naja pallida can be horrid or placid. Same with siamensis this species, you either get a calm one (jafar only started spitting when I moved him into the heated room) and the crazy ones (high white black and white seems to be the worst). But no, there is no food or clicker training to keep it from being an issue

There's a guy in NC that has a cobra,not sure what species but it's huge..he feeds on sundays and let's people watch (he sets up screen doors around the enclosure so only he is actually in with the snakes) &he admitted of all his snakes he was most weary of the cobra..when he fed him (if im not mistaken..he said they only eat other snakes, so he puts snake blood on a turkey "part"(i dont remember) he came out that enclosure towards the guy FAST and the guy was banging that pole he was holding the turkey with against it hard to draw his attention away from him..was really cool,he has a huge collection of snakes

This is typical of wild caught and even some captive born king cobra. They are primarily snake eaters. My cobra all eat rodents. But can and will eat snakes.
