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

It lives in lowlands, hills, plains, woodland and jungle. It is sometimes drawn to human settlements because rodents are common around them.1

  • 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

A sábà máa ń ṣì í mọ̀ sí: 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

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

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

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

Òtítọ́

1

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

2

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

3

It has been reported in Taiwan, where it was released into the wild as part of folklore Buddhist practices.1

4

The black and white form is so distinctive that it is the best-known colour phase, especially in central Thailand.1

Olùfọ́ àròsọ

Àròsọ: It is the same animal as the monocled cobra or the Chinese cobra.

Òtítọ́: It was once confused with these snakes, but it has been confirmed as a distinct species.1

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
