The red spitting cobra is a medium-sized cobra found in East Africa. When threatened, it can spray venom into an attacker's face, which can cause burning pain and blindness. It is often considered an attractive snake, usually bright salmon-red with a black throat band.1

  • Adults typically measure 0.7 to 1.2 metres1
  • When threatened, it rears up, shows a cobra hood and hisses loudly1

Humna summii

Summiin isaa (ciniinnaa ykn iddiin) maal godha?

Its venom contains a mixture of neurotoxins, which attack the nerves, and cytotoxins, which damage cells. A bite causes slight pain around the wound and numbness of the lips, fingers and tongue. Venom sprayed into the eyes causes burning pain and can cause blindness.1

It seldom causes human deaths, but survivors of its bites are usually left disfigured. In September 2011, a snake keeper from South Africa died shortly after venom was sprayed into his face while he was photographing the snake. The venom is thought to have entered his nasal passages and caused anaphylactic shock, a severe allergic reaction, and his asthma may have contributed.1

Yeroo sodaatu maal godha?

When threatened, it rears up, displays its hood and hisses loudly, and if the intruder does not retreat, it may spray venom at the face. In very rare cases it sprays without first rearing up.1

Dhugaawwan

1

Young red spitting cobras spit more venom, relative to their body size, than adults do.1

2

It is thought to be cannibalistic, which may explain why adults are night-active and smaller snakes are day-active.1

3

Adults are mainly active at night, while juveniles are more active during the day.1
