Cobras!!!!!

[Morelia_Hunter]

Me again. Some more pics of my holiday home. Hooked up with one of my mates and he got me to take some pics of his cobras. Had to hold a few as he was running in and out of his home the whole time.
First up: Cape cobra

Next: Rare form of Rinkhals from the Natal midlands. These snakes are normally bleck and white and was quite surprised when he said its a Rinkhals, as they like to spit venom too!!!!!

And of course: The King Cobra to top it off with. Impressive, wait till you see one in real life.

Hope you enjoy, have a few more if you want to see them?

[Snow1369]

wouldn't be (sorry)

 

[soulweaver]

how big was the king?

 

[Morelia_Hunter]

Just waiting for photobucket to load them. I know, I was surprised to see the colouration on that rinkhals. If only I knew they were around when I was still living there. The King was just under 2 metres. I never thought i missed these snakes so much till I had a chance to play with them. I will add pics soon.

That's pretty cool! Has your mate ever been tagged?

Got some more pics!
Albino Monacled Cobra, very nice looking snake. Very dangerous too.

Egyptian Cobra, very common through its range. You find these in all the warmer parts of SA.

A banded form of the Egyptian cobra. The colouration is dependant on its distribution. One of my Favourites!

A Spectacled cobra picking out its dinner. These snakes eat any time.

A Rinkhals feigning death, dont pick it up its waiting for that!

And of course Africas most dangerous snake. The Puff Adder.

Enjoy!!!
