Indochinese spitting cobra
The Siamese spitting cobra is a medium-sized snake that can spray venom from a distance. It lives in Southeast Asia, including Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos. It is special because it is a 'true spitter' that sprays venom into the face of a threat, and its bite can be dangerous to people.1

Kako jo prepoznaš
- Body colour ranges from grey to brown to black, with white spots or stripes.1
- The black and white colour form is common in central Thailand. Snakes from western Thailand are mostly black, and those from elsewhere are usually brown.1
- The hood mark may be spectacle-shaped or irregular, or missing altogether, especially in adults.1
- It is medium-sized with a more slender build than most other cobras in the genus Naja.1
Pogosto zamenjujejo z: The monocled cobra (Naja kaouthia) has a similar habitat, size and appearance, so it is easy to confuse with this species. This species is a 'true spitter' that sprays a mist, rather than the stream that many other spitting cobras produce.1
Moč strupa

Kaj naredi njen strup, ko ugrizne ali piči?
Its venom is mainly a postsynaptic neurotoxin, which attacks the nerves, and a cytotoxin, which kills tissue. A bite causes pain, swelling and necrosis (death of tissue) around the wound. Neurotoxic effects can lead to paralysis and difficulty breathing. If venom is spat into the eyes, it causes immediate, severe pain and can cause temporary or sometimes permanent blindness.1

Nevarnost za ljudi: Zelo nevarnaČloveka, ki ne dobi zdravljenja, lahko ubije.The bite is potentially lethal to an adult human. Deaths usually happen through paralysis and asphyxiation (suffocation), mainly in rural areas where antivenin is hard to obtain. In one Thai hospital survey, neurotoxic signs appeared in 12 of 114 cases (10.5%).1
Dobra novica: zdravniki imajo za to zdravilo (protistrup) ali zdravljenje.1
Kaj naredi, ko se prestraši?
At night it is aggressive: it stands its ground, rears up, displays its hood and spits venom, and it bites as a last resort. In daylight it is usually timid and seeks shelter in the nearest burrow.1
Če ugrizne ali pljuva
- Poškodovanca drži pri miru in ga pomirjaj, odstrani prstane in tesne stvari ter ga hitro odpelji v bolnišnico: zdravljenje je protistrup.
- Če je strup brizgnil v oči, jih takoj izpiraj z veliko čiste vode.

Ostani varen
- Nikoli se ne dotikaj divje živali, je ne lovi in je ne draži, tudi če je majhna in tudi če je videti, kot da spi ali je mrtva.
- Pusti ji prostor. Če jo srečaš, ostani miren, počasi stopi nazaj in jo pusti, da gre svojo pot.
- Če te ugrizne ali ti pljune strup v oči: ostani miren, ne premikaj se, pokliči številko za klic v sili (112, 000, 911) ali hitro pojdi v bolnišnico. Zapomni si, kako je izgledala, fotografija pomaga.
Ne preži nate. Strup uporablja, da ulovi hrano ali se zaščiti, in se veliko raje skrije. Več o varnosti

Dejstva
Some hatchlings are about 32 cm long, and they are venomous from the moment they hatch.1
Its reported spitting range is about 1 metre, the shortest of any spitting cobra, although one researcher reports it may reach about 2 metres in a stream.1
It has been reported in Taiwan, where it was released into the wild as part of folklore Buddhist practices.1
The black and white form is so distinctive that it is the best-known colour phase, especially in central Thailand.1
Razbijalec mitov
Mit: It is the same animal as the monocled cobra or the Chinese cobra.
Resnica: It was once confused with these snakes, but it has been confirmed as a distinct species.1
