Order Family Genus and Species
Squamata Elapidae Ophiophagus hannah The class of reptiles known as snakes began to diversify rapidly into numerous species during the
miocene period ( 22.5 to 5.5 million years ago.) Appearing during the miocene period were two
important snake families which still exist and thrive today. They are the Viperidae (vipers) and
and the Elapidae (cobras and their related species.) It is generally accepted that there are 14 to 15 families of snakes which still exist and around
species which are contained in these families. The distribution of species is not, however, equally
divided among the 15 families. Some families have only one species; while the largest family, the
Colubridae ( a very large cosmopolitan family of nonvenomous terrestrial, arboreal, or sometimes
aquatic snakes) has over 1,500 species.

the-south-asian. com October about us advertise archives contact us ... south asian shop King Cobra - the snake that would be King by Isidore Domnick Mendis Its size, deadliness, intelligence and ability to rear up and look a human straight in the eye have earned it a name that is more like a title: the King Cobra. The world's longest venomous snake, with a bite potent enough to kill an elephant. And no one knows that better than Romulus Whitaker, the Founder-Director of the Madras Snake Park who has spent most of his life in India wandering around the jungles of Western Ghats, Kerala and Tamil Nadu in his quest for King Cobras. Whitaker's Emmy award winning film on the real King of the Jungle explores the relationship between the charismatic cobra and creatures such as the forest tortoise, vine snakes, cow elephants, and giant squirrels. The film shot mainly in the rainforests of Kerala is a result of two years of intensive research in which Whitaker and his team travelled the length and breadth of Western Ghats, Orissa and contacted every zoo that breeds the King Cobra to know its habits. " We also set up a breeding programme in captivity to get the best shots of the female cobra laying eggs and then hatching them," says Whitaker. But the filming wasn't without its perils. The team's cameraman escaped narrowly when the King Cobra struck him on the head when he was trying to get a close shot of the snake without using the remote. Even Whitaker had a miraculous escape. When they were filming a fight between two King Cobras Whitaker got too close and one of the cobras pounced upon his back and hit him on his behind. " Luckily," says Whitaker, " It missed biting me. Though the venom of the King Cobra is less toxic than the common cobra, its massive glands have been known to yield over seven ccs of venom in a single extraction which is enough to wipe out an elephant."

Poisonous Snakes of India Indian (Spectacled) Cobra - Naja naja naja
Distinctive Features:
Medium-sized to large; smooth, shiny scales; wide head and neck; wide black band on underside of neck; distinctive hood marking on top of neck.
Description: The Spectacled Cobra is a smooth-scaled snake with black eyes, wide neck and head and medium body. Colouring varies form black or dark brown to yellowish white. The underside is usually white or yellowish with a wide dark neck band. The body is generally covered with a speckled white or yellow pattern, sometimes forming ragged bands. The famous hood marking of the classic design, shows a connected pair of rings. Occasionally, it may not even resemble spectacles, or may be altogether absent. The cobras of northwest India are blackish and have a barely distinguishable hood marking. Cobras are often confused with the Indian rat snakes, which have a much thinner neck and head, and become 3 metres long, a metre more than do the biggest Indian cobras.
The Spectacled Cobra is the most widely distributed of the generally accepted 3 sub -species of cobras in Indian and is one of the big four dangerous snakes, 6 species of cobras occur in Asia and 9 in Africa. The jet black cobras occur in Asia and 9 in Africa. The jet black cobra of northwest India and Pakistan is another sub-species or geographic race. Except for its colour and absence of hood marking, it is very similar to the spectacled Cobra.

Snakes move from dinner table to sporting ring
April 5, 1998 Web posted at: 9:52 p.m. EDT (0152 GMT) BAN KHOK SA-NGA, Thailand (CNN) To some people, the thought of touching a king cobra, let alone eating one, would be frightening. Historically, the reptile's meat has been much sought after here in northeastern Thailand. But too many snakes were killed, and the king cobra population dwindled to near extinction. The king cobra was put on Thailand's list of preserved species in 1992. Watch as a villager handles a 4-meter-long king cobra 2.45MB/43 sec./240x180 1.56MB/43 sec./160x120 QuickTime movie Now at least one village hopes that through its ingenuity and enterprise, that trend could be reversed with a sport called "snake boxing." Locals and visitors pay 25 cents each to watch a 10 minute performance in which a snake handler does battle with a king cobra. "Before we used to travel around with the cobras, displaying them and selling them as medicine. But this year, a lot of visitors have been coming to the village. It's my life," said snake handler Buaree Khomsingh.

They can be different sizes, weights, colors and have special features. They're usually 18 feet long and can weigh 20 pounds. Their colors are usually black, yellow, brown and light brown. King cobras do not make homes they live in forests and hide under leaves sometimes. King cobras are found in Europe, South Asia and Africa. King cobras have a special name called the spitting snake. They call him that because that's how he protects himself by spitting venom at its prey. Do you know that some snakes hunt for food? Not the king cobra though. It waits for it's food and spits venom at its prey. Cobras eat different snakes and animals. Sometimes a king cobra is in a group of family snakes like the green mamba, coral snake, death adder, the cobra, and spitting cobra. There are more snakes in the cobra family. King cobras don't have a lot of enemies except for each other. Cobras protect themselves by spitting venom at there predators. People hunt for this animal to train.

    cobra name for African and Asian snakes of the family Elapidae that are equipped with inflatable neck hoods. The family also includes the African mambas , the Asian kraits, the New World coral snakes and a large number of Australian snakes. All members of the family are poisonous and have short, rigid fangs attached at the front of the mouth. Cobras are found in most of Africa and in S Asia. They are nocturnal hunters, and most feed on small mammals, birds, and frogs. Females of all but one species lay eggs. The hood, which serves as a warning device, consists of loose skin around the neck; when the snake is excited it spreads the hood by extending the underlying long, movable ribs, and inflating it with air from the lungs. The king cobra ( Ophiophagus hannah ), or hamadryad, largest of all venomous snakes, is found in S Asia; it may reach a length of 18 ft (5.5 m) and feeds chiefly on other snakes. The Indian cobra ( Naja naja ), a common snake of the same region, is usually 4 to 5 ft (1.2-1.6 m) long; its large hood is marked on the back by a pattern of figures resembling eyes. It preys on rats and is therefore often found in houses. The Indian cobra and the Egyptian cobra (

    http://www10.brinkster.com/animal/snakes.htm
    There are around 2,500 known species of snake in the world today. These are categorized into 14 families. Due to bad press and the fear of a venomous bite, most humans generally fear snakes. However, only around 20% of the snake species are actually poisonous. Snakes have no legs and move around using special muscles which are attached to their ribs and their belly scales are designed to help grip surfaces. Largest The largest types of snake are from the family called Boidae. They are primarily Boas and Pythons. The largest may grow up to 30 feet in length and weigh around 400 - 500 pounds!
    Smallest The smallest snake species is the Blind Snake, this grows only to about 6 ins in length. It lives in the tropics and has small eyes covered by its scales and can probably only tell the difference between light and dark.
    Most Venomous The Inland Taipan is the most deadly snake in the world. It lives in Australia and has the most toxic venom of any snake. The most venom recorded for one bite was measured at 110 mg. This is enough to kill over 100 people. Luckily these snakes are very rare and not known, even in zoos outside of Australia.

    Don Dunnington (101st Airborne 69-70)
    Author note: The following events were taken from my unpublished memoirs, "Talons of Fire," and happened when I was flying a Cobra helicopter gunship with the hunter-killer teams of the Air-Cav in 1972 in Quang Nam province. Again, I have changed all names except my own to protect the innocent or guilty.
    Over the next two-and-a-half weeks, I quickly grew accustomed to flying Air-Cav missions and began to accept the new environment with great enthusiasm, convinced I had made the right choice leaving Nighthawk. For a few piasters, I even conned my hooch maid, Nguyen Marie not a seamstress by any stretch of the imagination into sewing two Cobra patches on my flight suit. The round green one that I had gotten on graduation from Cobra School showed a snake with its tongue flickering and fangs bared, coiled in front of the silhouette of a Cobra gunship. The other was made for the F/8's gun platoon: an oval white patch with a cobra's head and the words "Blue Ghost Reds" stitched around it. Instead of fangs, the snake had a tiny minigun shooting flames out of its mouth. The AH-1G Huey Cobra was the world's first helicopter engineered to be a true gunship, and every effort had been made to create a fast and stable weapons platform. With a top speed of 190-knots (230-mph) in a dive, it was nearly twice as fast as the Huey. Also, it possessed a system of electronic flight stabilizers, called SCAS for Stability Control Augmentation System, which dampened out wind gusts and turbulence much better than the Huey's mechanical stabilizers.

    http://www.expat.or.id/medical/poisonoussnakes.html
    Home Practical Information Health and Medical Concerns
    There are approximately 450 species of snakes in Indonesia. Only five or so are considered dangerously poisonous and found around Jakarta like any wild animal, the snake will usually try to escape before it will attack. They can usually be depended on to bite if they are stepped on. Most are nocturnal and can be avoided by not walking barefoot at night in dark, swampy, bushy areas. Keeping one's garden clear of thick vegetation, tall grass, and dark rocky hideaways helps dissuade snakes from making one's house or yard a snake's hideaway. It is hoped that these illustrations will assist in identification of those species which are venomous. Indonesians often wrongly identify snakes and usually say that ALL are poisonous. A snake which cannot be positively identified SHOULD be considered dangerous.
    Snake bite treatment
    It is important to distinguish between snakebite and snake poisoning. The bite from a harmless snake can produce mild pain and extreme fear. A bite from a venomous snake may not necessarily mean that venom has been injected into the wound. If someone has received a bite, check for symptoms of poisoning, keep the victim calm and treat for shock, and keep the site of the bite lower than the heart, and immobile. DO NOT ADMINISTER ALCOHOL. Some good snake-related advice from a snake lover in Jakarta: One alternative to killing snakes you find in your yard is to call a member of the Jakarta Reptile Lovers Association. Pak Gunawan is one of the founders and runs the reptile house at TMII. He doesn't speak any English, so get someone to translate for you when you call him. He'll come to your home and catch a snake (particularly if it's very big or rare and it's not too far away) whether venomous or not.

    Snakes!
    You'll notice that most of the links below concentrate on venomous species, because they happen to be my favorites. What I love best are the Elapidae, or cobra family, and most of all the true cobras (genus Naja and closely-related genera such as Hemachatus , though I've never been hugely enamoured of the king cobra, Ophiophagus ). My favorite species of all, you will find in the Fantasy Snake section, and thereafter is a series of links.
    Fantasy Snake
    Here she is ... the dream snake, the fantasy, the ultimate: the Black Desert Cobra, Walterinnesia aegyptia . Some might think her an unassuming monotoned animal, fading in comparison to her dramatically-hooded relatives and some of the the richly-colored vipers, but there's something about that intense gloss-black aesthetic that I have always found irresistable. Add to that, this is a desert species who thrives in the wastelands where very few beings would be able to eeke out a living, and that in and of itself is worthy of respect. But as usual, my love for this species is more subjective than that, and grows out of an intensely-experienced personal mythology. In the adventure fantasies of my childhood daydreams, you see, the heroine of the tale was just such a snake. At least, to start with. ;) I am, needless to say, very interested in keeping and working with this species one day, though they are not widely available in the herp trade.

    Bite Prevention
    This is inded to be a guide - The author takes no responsiblity for the accuracy of this information! Obviously the best prevention is to avoid getting bitten. This is facilitated by the fact that humans are not the natural prey of any
    venomous snake. We are a bit large for them to swallow whole and they have no means of chopping us up into bite size pieces.
    Nearly all snakebites in humans are the result of a snake defending itself when it feels threatened. In general snakes are shy and will
    simply leave if you give them a chance. The basic rule is to be sure the snake knows you are coming. Walk heavily, they probably
    sense ground vibrations better than sound. If they sense your presence they will almost always leave before you even know they are
    there. (This may not apply in other parts of the world. Some of the more potent snakes may protect their territory as well as their
    bodies.)
    If you do unexpectedly confront a snake, stay calm, back away and do nothing to threaten it. (This assumes of course that the
