The Siamese spitting cobra is a medium-sized snake that can spray venom from a distance. It lives in Southeast Asia, including Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos. It is special because it is a 'true spitter' that sprays venom into the face of a threat, and its bite can be dangerous to people.1

Indlela yokusiqaphela

Body colour ranges from grey to brown to black, with white spots or stripes.1
The black and white colour form is common in central Thailand. Snakes from western Thailand are mostly black, and those from elsewhere are usually brown.1
The hood mark may be spectacle-shaped or irregular, or missing altogether, especially in adults.1
It is medium-sized with a more slender build than most other cobras in the genus Naja.1

Sidla ngokubhidaniswa no: The monocled cobra (Naja kaouthia) has a similar habitat, size and appearance, so it is easy to confuse with this species. This species is a 'true spitter' that sprays a mist, rather than the stream that many other spitting cobras produce.1

Amandla etyhefu yokuluma nokuhlaba

Siyafafaza okanye sitshica

Sifafaza okanye sitshica ulwelo oluhlabayo kwabo basihlaselayo.

Ityhefu yaso yokuluma okanye yokuhlaba yenza ntoni?

Its venom is mainly a postsynaptic neurotoxin, which attacks the nerves, and a cytotoxin, which kills tissue. A bite causes pain, swelling and necrosis (death of tissue) around the wound. Neurotoxic effects can lead to paralysis and difficulty breathing. If venom is spat into the eyes, it causes immediate, severe pain and can cause temporary or sometimes permanent blindness.1

Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?

The bite is potentially lethal to an adult human. Deaths usually happen through paralysis and asphyxiation (suffocation), mainly in rural areas where antivenin is hard to obtain. In one Thai hospital survey, neurotoxic signs appeared in 12 of 114 cases (10.5%).1

Iindaba ezimnandi: oogqirha banamayeza (i-antivenom) okanye unyango lwale nto.1

Senza ntoni xa soyika?

At night it is aggressive: it stands its ground, rears up, displays its hood and spits venom, and it bites as a last resort. In daylight it is usually timid and seeks shelter in the nearest burrow.1

Iinyaniso

Some hatchlings are about 32 cm long, and they are venomous from the moment they hatch.1

Its reported spitting range is about 1 metre, the shortest of any spitting cobra, although one researcher reports it may reach about 2 metres in a stream.1

Igama lenzululwazi: Naja siamensis
Iqela: Amaphimpi, iimamba nee-krait
Usapho: Elapidae2
Ucwangco: Squamata
Amazwekazi: IAsiya
Iintsana: It lays eggs. A female lays 13 to 19 eggs, which hatch after 48 to 70 days depending on temperature. Hatchlings are independent and already have working venom systems, so they should be treated with the same respect as adults.1
