I love spitters too, but I'm not a fan of pallida, I don't like the small hood if I'm honest lol. The whole reason for having a cobra is for the hood!!
All the crotalus I've worked with are pretty lazy lol. And although I see your point about the hoods most of my favorite naja are all African and have pretty slender hoods. melanoleuca, and of course Naja nigricollis
being obvious examples. In fact with the possible exception of Pseudechis porphyriacus a nigricollis with a nice red throat might be my favorite species of elapid.
