Black-necked spitting cobra
The black-necked spitting cobra is a venomous snake found mostly in sub-Saharan Africa. It can squirt venom from its fangs at a threat, and that venom can cause permanent blindness if it gets into the eyes. Its colours vary a lot from place to place.1

Ano ang epekto ng kamandag nito?
Its venom is mostly cytotoxic, meaning it destroys cells, and it also has typical elapid neurotoxic (nerve-attacking) effects and cardiotoxic (heart-damaging) components. A bite causes severe bleeding from the wound, tissue death around the bite, and difficulty breathing. Venom in the eyes causes extreme burning pain, loss of coordination, partial loss of vision, and permanent blindness.1
Gaano ito kapanganib sa tao?
Panganib sa tao: NapakapanganibKaya nitong pumatay ng taong hindi nagamot.Its venom is medically significant. The death rate for untreated bites is about 5 to 10%, and under 1% in areas where it is common. When death occurs, it is usually from paralysis of the diaphragm, the muscle used for breathing.1
Ano ang ginagawa nito kapag natatakot?
It spits venom from its fangs at a threat, reaching up to 7 metres with good accuracy. It also bites readily, even with only slight provocation.1
Kung kumagat o dumura ito
- If venom gets into the eyes, it should be washed off, because permanent blindness can follow if it is not. Anyone bitten should get medical treatment, as untreated bites carry a much higher risk of death.1
- Panatilihing hindi gumagalaw at kalmado ang tao, tanggalin ang mga singsing at masisikip na bagay, at pumunta agad sa ospital: antivenom ang gamutan.
- Kung nadura ang kamandag sa mga mata, banlawan agad ang mga ito ng maraming malinis na tubig.

Mga fact
It can spit venom accurately more than 7 metres away.1
In 1944, a British eye surgeon, Major Harold Ridley, described eye damage from a spit from this cobra in Ghana. He treated the man and followed his case until the eye fully recovered.1
A single bite can deliver 200 to 350 mg of venom (dry weight), according to a 1974 study by Minton.1
It is an excellent tree climber and can live in trees at times.1
Wild-caught individuals tend to be nervous and spit readily, while captive-bred animals are much calmer.1
It can be active at night or during the day, depending on the season, location and temperature.1
Myth buster
Mito: Spitting cobras only spit venom and do not bite.
Totoo: The black-necked spitting cobra also bites, and it will do so with only slight provocation.1
