Javan spitting cobra
The Javan spitting cobra is a venomous snake that lives on the islands of Java, Bali and other Lesser Sunda Islands in Indonesia. It is named for its habit of spraying venom at a threat instead of only biting. It is a medium to large snake, and adults can grow to nearly 2 metres long.1

Its venom contains mainly cardiotoxins, which act on the heart, and smaller amounts of neurotoxins, which act on the nerves. Its venom has a strong anticoagulant effect, meaning it weakens the blood's ability to clot. The venom may be potent but may not be particularly rapid-acting.1

Nsɛm
It is one of the few cobras that can spit venom at a threat, and it does so readily.1
Cardiotoxins make up about 60% of its venom by dry weight, while neurotoxins make up only about 4.5%.1
The Komodo dragon preys on this cobra, which makes it easy prey for that lizard.1
Hatchlings are completely independent from birth, so no parent cares for them.1
Atosɛm sɛefoɔ
Atosɛm: Komodo specimens are reluctant to spit.
Nokorɛ: Field observations suggest the opposite: they do spit.1
