Statistics Indicate That Humankind Accustomed With The Cobra Snake Family Than With Any Other Species Or Subspecies In The Venomous Or Non-Venomous Serpent Categories
Statistics indicate 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 chosen habitat for the cobra snake, which explains why this snake is regularly found in the arid lands of Asia and Africa. These serpents have got so very recognized by the threatening body position they get when danger is near: a cobra snake, which has a perfectly symmetrical head otherwise, will flatten the head and rear it up in a menacing way when seeing a possible attack coming. Another peculiarity the cobra snake remains famous for is the snake charming tricks performed by Indian serpent breeders.

The spitting cobra snake is one of the most peculiar diversity 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 as soon as possible so as to minimize permanent damage to the tissues. The King cobra snake also stands apart in this large serpent family by its feeding specificity, since it eats almost only other snakes, with mice and small birds also falling prey to its venom.

The incredible size is one other history the King cobra snake sets: it can grow as long as seventeen feet, which makes it the largest venomous snake in the world. A new species was discovered in our times, in 2003 to be more accurate, when a strange cobra snake was identified at a London Zoo as part of an illegal shipment of exotic pets. DNA studies revealed that 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, which is why scientists gave it the old name of this geographic location, Nubian spitting cobra.

Though highly dangerous when it senses a threat, a cobra snake will not attack if you let it be. In comparison with the launch speed of a rattlesnake, the cobra isn't too fast when attacking, and many bites prove blank without envenomation. A study conducted on Malaysian cobra snake victims indicates that only 55% of the bites had venom discharge too. Yet, the same report indicates a mortality rate of 10% for people bitten by a cobra snake, as the toxins sent in the blood of the prey are devastating 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 pose any risk unless they sense danger. For instance, many people know there could be snakes in their gardens, but haven't seen any. If you love gardening it is possible to discover the skins they leave behind, otherwise they are well hidden in the background and keep their distance from humans that encounters are very sporadic. Dull colors like tans, khaki yellow or green are the basic colors of garden snakes, both humans and large animals like pets will scare them. The only issue is when the garden snakes are venomous, then you are in trouble, and most often, professional assistance is required to capture and relocate them in a wild habitat.
