Cobras generally hook easily and are not the most aggressive but that is also the fun of them. They would be just like deadly black racers if they didn't hood up at you

thank you but they are in a simple neodesha cage right now. its labeled and it has a water bowl that is currently doubling for a hide box with peat moss as substrate. believe me, it is nothing fancy. I will get some pics as soon as I have someone reliable to help me with them sometime later and I will throw in a pic of their set up.

they can be cannibalistic if they are not fed enough but the generally get along well. This is a Naja sp. not an Ophiophagus so they are much less prone to this sort of behavior but it does happen on occasion. I am willing to take this risk to save space though.

I do not keep a vial of Antivenon because it is up to $6000 per vial and I would need upwards of 30 vials to treat a bad bite. Furthermore, AV can go bad in as little as 6 months. I do have a bite protocol and I have Miami's Venom 1 on speed dial. They are the closest place that carries the Thai Red Cross brand of AV that I would need for these little buggers. I could have a few vials transported to the hospital here in less than hour. Also, you need a prescription to get any AV and most doctors will not administer anything from your own personal stock since it is too much of a liability (especially if the vial has expired).
this is a heated topic among Hot keepers but I could go on and on as far as why I choose not to keep any AV on hand. I realize that it is a risk and I am okay with that.
