BABY SNAKES Hissing Like Psychos! 2 Thailand Monocled Cobras

Two baby snakes I got today. Quite beautiful. Quite angry. Quite a lot of energy! Listing to them hissing - a great day over here as an expat in Thailand. Glad I woke up. These cobra snakes are quite deadly even though they are small. Their venom is more potent - 10x more potent than the Thailand Kraits and more toxic to your body (poisonous) than the King Cobra. (Naja Kaouthia). The Monocellate Cobra (Naja kaouthia) grows to about 2 meters maximum length and can be about 30 cm in girth. There is usually a distinct marking on the back of the neck where it "hoods" that resembles an eye. The coloration varies but usually the color is dark brown or grey brown, to black in the southern provinces of Thailand. Some are lightly banded. They have a white throat and 2 spots, on on each side of the front of the neck - bilateral. The venter has some markings, but is primarily beige or very light yellow or white. This cobra inhabits plains and mountains up to 700 meters in elevation. It eats frogs, toads, snakes, birds, eggs, and other small rodents, lizards, etc. During the day they can be found in termite mounds or other holes even near human settlements. Here in Thailand they can be found under houses near the ocean, most often. Gravid females lay up to 45 eggs in a single clutch. The hatchling cobras tend to stick around the same place they hatch, so when you get them under your house - you might have many to worry about. Hatchlings are 28-35cm long and look exactly like adults. They have plenty of venom and are capable of aggressively defending themselves, even as they hatch. Bites are potentially fatal. There is antivenin available at most large hospitals. The venom has some cytotoxic properties, but it is primarily neurotoxic in its composition. It works by inhibiting the nerve impulses required to keep muscles moving. When the diaphragm can no longer work on its own, the victim dies quickly. The monocled cobra occurs throughout Thailand except in the north. It also occurs in northern Peninsular Malaysia, northeastern India, Southern China, Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam. We catch cobras when they are in someone's home or yard, and let them go free in a natural setting far from people. If you have some cobras for us to catch in Southern Thailand, let us know by contacting us at the ThailandSnakes.com site.
