The snouted cobra is a large, highly venomous snake that lives in southern Africa. It is a night hunter that often makes its home in old termite mounds. Because it can deliver a dangerous bite, it is important to know what it looks like and where it lives.1

It lives in dry and moist savanna, especially bushveld and lowveld areas, but not in forests. It often uses an abandoned termite mound as a permanent lair, where it may stay for years if left undisturbed. It also raids poultry runs and can become a nuisance to farmers.1
