  • As it grows, it becomes a darker brown and the neck band fades away.1
  • The throat band, which covers the front belly scales, is blue-black.1
  • When threatened, it spreads a large, impressive hood about 10 to 12 cm wide.1
  • In the southernmost parts of its range, some snakes are black with yellow bands across the body and tail.1

Its venom is mainly a potent neurotoxin, which attacks the nerves. It may also contain cardiotoxic components, which harm the heart. Because it has moderately large size and relatively large fangs, it can inject a large volume of venom in a single bite.1

Bites are rare, but they have been known to cause human deaths.1

When provoked it lifts its front body off the ground, spreads its hood and takes a defensive posture, but it will flee if it gets the chance, and it sometimes feigns death.1
