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

Pagina iniziala

It is found mostly in tropical and wet forests, but it adapts to many habitats, including dry woodlands, cultivated hill country and, on Komodo, dry savanna and deciduous monsoon forest. It is a terrestrial snake, so it moves on the ground, and it is nocturnal, so it is active at night.1

Sprizza u spida

Tge fa ses tissi?

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

It is very defensive and readily spits venom when it feels threatened, and its hood expands as a warning.1

bun da savair

Fatgs

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

Destructur da mits

Mit: Komodo specimens are reluctant to spit.

Vardad: Field observations suggest the opposite: they do spit.1
