Nice nice snake! Blak Pak's are supposed to be the most psycho of all cobra's, no? That's what I read at least.

Nikki, I know I was not asked, but the scientific name is Naja n. naja. One of my favorites.
Vanan, just my 2 cents, I believe the Forest cobra and Cape cobras are a bit more psychotic (at least in my exp.)

I would agree about the Forest Cobras being exceptionally defensive. I've only had the pleasure of working with two types of cobra on a regular basis, but have also logged many hours assisting in other collections with different elapids. And with the exception of certain individual specimens, Forest Cobras seemed to be the most difficult to control.

However, having said this, it's been a long time since I've worked with venomous and my amount of experience is just a couple of years in the late 80's. So my memory may be off a bit.

Happy Herping,
