king cobras are awesome..but...

[Pareeeee]

They are cool but I still think Cobras are cooler.

[Rogue628]

I really had a hard time deciding between the two. The King Cobra is so regal, yet the gaboon's pattern is just amazing!

[Jlassiter]

Yea....and a king cobra will have a Gaboon for a snack.......

A big one might make a meal.

[Jlassiter]

Yep....It probably would.....LOL

I'm surprised that rhino viper didn't win out against gaboon honestly. They have similar body and facial structures, but rhino vipers' colors are just soooo much prettier!

I agree. I'm not really a huge fan of Gaboon Vipers but at the same time Rhino Vipers are one of my favorite species.
