Gantsi e tlhakanngwa le: It was long thought to be a subspecies of the black-necked spitting cobra (Naja nigricollis), but differences in body shape and genes led to it being recognised as a separate species. Both of its subspecies are smaller than the black-necked spitting cobra. The subspecies known as the black spitting cobra is solid black, with no stripes.1

Most bites happen at night, while victims are asleep, because the snake often enters homes. Its spitting can cause blindness.1

It spits venom at enemies with great accuracy, and like other cobras it can flatten its head and neck into a hood.1
