Re: New snake!
Amazing reptile! Looks really harmless at first glance. So I imagine they are mainly terrestrial? How are they at climbing?

Thanks! They are great climbers and good swimmers.. Like D said, it is a snake that is in the top 3 of most difficult hots to keep.. No, the care is not too hard but working with them is. Very potent venom, big venom yield, easily agitated and very unpredictable. Their venom contains cytotoxins (destroys tissue), postsynaptic neurotoxins and possibly cardiotoxins as well. Thereby, when it bites it injects a large quantity of venom.
It's definitely one of the most potent cobra venoms and it's the biggest true cobra (Naja) as well.
They have been known to chase keepers around the room, keepers even stated that they were more frightened of this snake then of any other snake in their collection including black mambas.
It's a beautiful snake that demands alot of resepect, which i do certainly have for her!

Good choice! One tip, don't start off with this one.
Naja kaouthia's are easier to handle, bluffers and are beautiful snakes!

Re: New snake!
Good to see you on SAReptiles my friend.
Some of the guys there can be a bit snotty, but the main guys to speak with on the Forum go by the following usernames. Bushviper, Snakes4Africa, Fooble, Durban Keeper. My username is of course Frisky.
You will learn over time who are the more knowledgeable and dependable guys.

Re: New snake!
A little update on my Naja melanoleuca, it's not in my collection anymore.
I sold it to a friend who also keeps venomous snakes, in order to expand my collection next year.
