The shield-nosed cobra is highly venomous. Its bite has caused at least one reported human death, even though it has a fairly low tendency to bite.1

Uma siluma

No antivenin is available for this species. Any bite or venom spat by any elapid snake should be treated as an urgent medical emergency.1
Gcina umuntu engashukumi futhi ezolile, khipha izindandatho nezinto eziqinile, bese umusa esibhedlela ngokushesha: i-antivenom iyikhambi.

Njalo shayela kuqala inombolo yezimo eziphuthumayo (112, 000, 911). Lokhu kuyiseluleko sosizo lokuqala esijwayelekile, akusona iseluleko sezokwelapha. Izisekelo zosizo lokuqala

Hlala uphephile

Ungalokothi uthinte, ubambe noma ugcone isilwane sasendle, ngisho noma sincane, futhi ngisho noma sibukeka silele noma sifile.
Sinike isikhala. Uma uhlangana naso, hlala uzolile, uhlehle kancane bese usiyeka sihambe ngendlela yaso.
Uma sikuluma: hlala uzolile, ungashukumi, shayela inombolo yezimo eziphuthumayo (112, 000, 911) noma uye esibhedlela ngokushesha. Khumbula ukuthi besibukeka kanjani, isithombe siyasiza.

Asikuzingeli wena. Sisebenzisa ubuthi baso ukuze sibambe ukudla noma ukuzivikela, futhi singancamela ukucasha. Okwengeziwe mayelana nokuhlala uphephile

Amaqiniso

Its skull has a specialised structure, and its uniquely large rostral scale makes it very good at digging and tunnelling.1

The female may stay coiled around her eggs after laying them, guarding the clutch.1

The shield-nosed cobra can live for 20 to 28 years in captivity, but this age is normally not reached in the wild because of predation, accidents and other dangers.1
