Ok, so I was thinking. I know they're venomous, but could they also be considered poisonous, since the venom is usually sprayed at the face and absorbs into the eyes? Does their venom have an effect on the skin also? Would you get the same/similar symptoms if you dripped viper or other elapid venom into the eyes?
Here's a pic of one from my favorite zoo.
And another cobra, can't remember what kind.
