Adult True Indian Naja naja

These guys aren't around to much anymore but I hope to change that. I have seen alot of breeding activity between them but no hook ups yet as far as I know. I'm planning on importing some animals from Europe and another pair of True Indians are on the list so I can have 2 lines and unrelated offspring. I kept an eye on this pair for YEARS before their owner finally decided to let them go! The females in shed so I'll get some new pics soon. The flash seems to wash out their color, they are a dark mustard color. The females in shed, new pics to come!!! Oh...BTW both are off feed!

Very pretty cobras! I love cobras but will probably never keep venomous snakes myself. I love their hoods--so amazing!

Omg! Amazing looking snakes. Wish I could have one. But like Marvelfreak said I bet l would get bitten right away. Lol.

Love the hood on that male. Very cool, cant wait to see some little wigglers!

Vry nice naja naja's, good luck breeding those two and with the other two as well when you get them. I would love to keep these snakes as it would be interesting to see if constant interaction would stop some of the flaring and all the bluff.

You hit the nail on the head. Constant interaction does stop the flaring and bluff. I have to work really hard to get these guys to hood up for pics! The female is due to shed within the next week so I'll get some new pics up. These guys are yellow/gold. I love em! Thanks for the comments!!!

AH thank you for the answer. I always thought you could calm them completely, but i have a few friends who lived over there and kept these, said they were always angry. I guess its still luck of the draw but as with all snakes with lots of work and lots of patience you will have a fairly placid friend

Umm...maybe they just weren't settled in good yet. As soon as I pull the hide up now they hood. They aren't very aggressive and are easy to work with but they still attempt to show me who's boss. Here's some new photo's:

Yeah i dont know how often they were handled or anything. I was only showed some photo's, they were both bought as adults so its hard to teach an old snake new tricks lol.
Great snakes im so so so jealous you are very lucky to have a pair like that

Will0W783 · 02-09-10, 09:46 AM

Those are sooo stunning. I love the monacles on the hoods- such majestic creatures. Best of luck with them!
