| | Studies reveal that people are more familiar with the cobra snake family than with any other species or subspecies in the poisonous or non-poisonous serpent categories. Tropical lands and desert areas make the ideal habitat for the cobra snake, which explains why this snake is widely spread in the arid lands of Asia and Africa. These serpents have got so very great by the threatening body posture they assume when sensing danger: a cobra snake, which has a perfectly symmetrical head when in a tolerant mood, will flatten the head and push it towards the back in a menacing way when seeing a possible attack coming. Another peculiarity the cobra snake owes its reputation to is the snake charming tricks performed by Indian serpent breeders.
The spitting cobra snake is one of the most peculiar variety as it not only has a deadly bite but it also sprays venom in the eyes of prey and aggressors alike. The eye contact with the venom toxins can cause not just pain but blindness too, therefore, if you accidentally get cobra snake venom in the eyes, wash them out promptly so as to stop permanent damage to the tissues. The King cobra snake also distinguishes itself in this large serpent family by the fact that it feeds almost completely on other snakes, with mice and small birds accidentally turning into a meal.
The King cobra snake sets another legend in terms of size: it can grow as long as seventeen feet, which makes it the the biggest poisonous snake in the world. The most recent discovery of a cobra snake species was made in 2003, when a strange cobra snake was identified at a London Zoo as belonging to an illegal transport of exotic pets. According to DNA studies this new species resembles the red spitting cobra snake but shows major differences in the genetic structure. It apparently originates from an area between Sudan and Egypt, and it was given the name of Nubian spitting cobra.
Although the risk of getting bitten is high in the attendance of a venomous specimen, a cobra snake will not attack if you let it be. In comparison with the launch speed of a rattlesnake, the cobra is pretty slow in attack, and many bites prove blank without envenomation. Research conducted on Malaysian people bitten by a cobra snake shows that only 55% of the wounds had venom discharge too. Yet, the same statistics indicates a mortality rate of 10% for people bitten by a cobra snake, since the toxins sent in the blood of the prey are affecting the nerves and causing respiratory deficiencies within thirty minutes from the occurrence of the bite.
Finding hiding places is part of snakes' nature, they are pretty solitary creatures that do not harm anyone unless they feel threatened. For instance, many house owners know there could be snakes in their gardens, but haven't seen any. If you take gardening as a hobby it is possible to discover the skins they leave behind, otherwise they are well hidden in living environment and keep their distance from humans that encounters are very sporadic. Garden snakes are dull colored, either in tans and shades of brown, pale yellow, khaki or green, both humans and large animals like pets will scare them. The only issue is when you have poisonous garden snakes, then the risk of getting bitten is higher, and most often, professional assistance is necessary to capture and move them in wilderness.
The structure of the venom secreted by poisonous snakes is very complex: there is mainly a combination of proteins and toxins that when spread in the prey's body paralyze and eventually kill it.
