怎样认出它

Young snakes are yellowish to light brown, with a black band circling the neck.1
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

常被误认为： The snouted cobra is very similar in shape, size and habits. The Anchieta's cobra is more inclined to stand its ground when confronted by a threat.1
