Statistics Indicate That Man Accustomed With The Cobra Snake Family Than With Any Other Snake Group Or Subgroup In The Poisonous Or Non-Poisonous Reptile Categories

 


Studies reveal that people are more familiar with the cobra snake family than with any other species or subspecies in the poisonous or non-poisonous serpent categories. Tropical lands and desert areas make the ideal habitat for the cobra snake, which explains why this snake is widely spread in the arid lands of Asia and Africa. These serpents have got so very great by the threatening body position they assume when danger is near: a cobra snake, which has a perfectly symmetrical head otherwise, will flatten the head and rear it up in a menacing way when it considers itself in danger. Another thing the cobra snake remains famous for is the snake charming tricks performed by Indian serpent breeders.

The spitting cobra snake is one of the most peculiar variety as it not only has a deadly bite but it also sprays venom in the eyes of prey and aggressors alike. The contact with the eyes can be very painful and even blinding, therefore, in case your eyes get exposed to cobra snake venom, wash them out instantly so as to prevent permanent damage to the tissues. The King cobra snake also stands apart in this large serpent family by its feeding specificity, since it eats almost only other snakes, with mice and small birds also falling prey to its venom.

The incredible size is one other history the King cobra snake sets: it can grow as long as seventeen feet, which makes it the the biggest poisonous snake on the globe. The most recent discovery of a cobra snake species was made in 2003, when a specimen was identified at a London Zoo as part of an illegal transport of exotic pets. DNA studies revealed that this new species is similar to the red spitting cobra snake but shows major differences in terms of genes. It apparently originates from an area between Sudan and Egypt, which is why scientists gave it the old name of this geographicarea, Nubian spitting cobra.

Though highly fatal when it senses a threat, a cobra snake will keep away if you leave it in peace. If compared to the strike of a rattlesnake, the cobra isn't too fast when attacking, and many bites fail to touch the prey or do not result in envenomation. Research conducted on Malaysian cobra snake victims shows that only 55% of the bites had venom discharge too. Yet, the same study indicates a mortality rate of 10% for people bitten by a cobra snake, as the toxins eliminated in the blood of the prey are affecting the nerves and inducing respiratory failure half an hour after being bitten.

Snakes like hiding places, they are pretty solitary creatures that do not pose any risk unless they feel threatened. For instance, many people know there could be snakes in their gardens, but haven't seen any. If you love gardening it is possible to come across the skins they leave behind, otherwise they are so camouflaged in the background and avoid human proximity that encounters are very sporadic. Dull colors like tans, khaki yellow or green are the basic colors of garden snakes, and they will usually run away from people and pets. The only issue is when you have poisonous garden snakes, then you are in trouble, and most often, professional assistance is required to capture and relocate them in wilderness.
