Product Description
The Red spitting cobra is a medium-sized species of spitting cobra native to Africa. This attractive snake is usually bright salmon-red in color contrasted with a broad black throat band and subocular teardrop markings. However, the color of Red spitting snakes usually varies depending on where in Africa they are found. For example, individuals from southern Kenya and northern Tanzania have an orange-red color, with a broad, dark blue, or black throat band. Some specimens may have two or three throat bands, but this is uncommon for specimens from East Africa. The ventral side is also reddish in color, sometimes the throat area may be a creamy white. Red spitting cobras from other areas can be yellow, pinkish, pink-grey, pale red, or steel grey. Most specimens will have a throat band, but it will fade or even sometimes disappear in larger adults. The true red specimens will become reddish-brown in color as they age and grow in size.
Red spitting cobras are mainly found in East Africa, including Djibouti, Eritrea, Somalia, southern Egypt, northern and eastern Ethiopia, northern Tanzania, and northern Sudan. They are also widespread in eastern and northern Kenya. These cobras prefer to live in dry savanna and semidesert areas of East Africa and are usually found near water holes.
