I was out of town for a few days and when I returned, I found a new cobra:

24187

Pretty sure it's an original.

Not an original, they only came in imitation snake skin not the real stuff! Can you imagine opening a house door and finding that looking you in the eyes?

Ray,

So they have rain forests in CA, too. That is the "super snake" I've always heard about! OMG.

WEK.

I have actually handled one of those (about a 6-footer.) Impressive strength, quick and very-VERY intimating when they rear and flare the hood. I would almost rather handle a cobra than a constrictor. With a cobra, you only have to worry about keeping the head under control. With a large boa, python etc. you have to not only worry about the head (and the HUNDREDS of teeth) but also keep adjusting, fighting, pushing etc. to keep them from getting a coil around you.

He almost gets bit at least once in this video:

Getting ready for bed-now I'll probably have nightmares.
Thanks.
