Javan spitting cobra
The Javan spitting cobra is a venomous snake that lives on the islands of Java, Bali and other Lesser Sunda Islands in Indonesia. It is named for its habit of spraying venom at a threat instead of only biting. It is a medium to large snake, and adults can grow to nearly 2 metres long.1

Its venom contains mainly cardiotoxins, which act on the heart, and smaller amounts of neurotoxins, which act on the nerves. Its venom has a strong anticoagulant effect, meaning it weakens the blood's ability to clot. The venom may be potent but may not be particularly rapid-acting.1

Xibaar
It is one of the few cobras that can spit venom at a threat, and it does so readily.1
Cardiotoxins make up about 60% of its venom by dry weight, while neurotoxins make up only about 4.5%.1
The Komodo dragon preys on this cobra, which makes it easy prey for that lizard.1
Hatchlings are completely independent from birth, so no parent cares for them.1
Tasukatu léeb
Xalaat bu juum: Komodo specimens are reluctant to spit.
Dëgg: Field observations suggest the opposite: they do spit.1
