Ashe's spitting cobra

Naja ashei
Nezvezita: The species is named after James Ashe, who founded the Bio-Ken Snake Farm and was one of the first experts to suggest it was a new species. The genus name Naja comes from a Sanskrit word meaning serpent.1

Ashe's spitting cobra is a large venomous snake from eastern and northeastern Africa. It is the largest of all the spitting cobras, and it can spray venom from a distance as well as bite. Its venom can cause blindness if it gets into the eyes and not treated at once.1

Uturu hwayo hunoitei?

Its venom is neurotoxic, meaning it attacks the nerves, and cytotoxic, meaning it destroys cells. It is very similar to the venom of other spitting cobras, but it can inject a much larger volume in one bite. Its venom also causes strong tissue death around a wound.1

Ine ngozi yakadii kuvanhu?

The venom has low whole-body toxicity, so survival is very likely with proper treatment. Survivors may be left disfigured by tissue damage. If venom gets into the eyes and is not treated immediately, blindness is likely. Even with antivenom, amputation may be needed after a full dose from a large specimen.1

Inoitei kana yatya?

It is very defensive and does not hesitate to spit when it feels cornered. It can keep spitting for hours without running out of venom straight away.1

Kana ikaruma kana kupfira

  • If venom gets into the eyes, rinse them straight away with water or another bland liquid, as delay can cause permanent blindness. Whether the person has been bitten or spat at, they should see a doctor as soon as possible. Treatment is the appropriate antivenom, SAVP polyvalent from South African Vaccine Producers, and the dose may need to be higher than for the average black-necked spitting cobra bite.1
