	Cobra (snake) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cobras are venomous snakes of family Elapidae, of several genera.
		Cobras kill their prey, usually small rodents and birds, by injecting a neurotoxin through their hollow fangs.
		The cobra's most recognizable feature is its hood, a flap of skin and muscle behind the head which it can flare, perhaps for the purpose of making it appear bigger and more threatening to predators.

	Care and Cultivation of Cobra Lily Plants, Darlingtonia californica
		The Cobra Lily, Darlingtonia californica, is native to southwestern Oregon and northern California.
		As the insect checks these false exits searching for an escape route, it is led down the tube structure and is unable to return to the top of the plant because of the slippery smooth surface of the inner tube and the sharp, downward pointing hairs which effectively block any chance of escape.
		Cobra Lilies are fairly hardy, and in nature can survive being buried in snow during the winter.

		None of the teeth are hollowed to serve as poison fangs, but in some species (rear-fanged snakes) the teeth at the back of the upper jaw are enlarged and grooved along the front surface to conduct venom.
		Exceptions exist, however, such as the BOOMSLANG, Dispholidus typus, of Africa; the mangrove snake, Boiga dendrophila, of southeast Asia; and the false water cobra, Hydrodynastes gigas, of Brazil--all of which produce venom in sufficient quantity or of sufficient toxicity to be dangerous.
		Members range from the small insectivorous genera, such as the ringneck snakes, Diadophis, to the large rat snakes, Elaphe; king snakes, Lampropeltis; and whip snakes, Masticophis; and include desert dwellers, such as the glossy snake, Arizona; and tree snakes, such as the vine snake, Oxybelis.

		Katherine Heathcote, a veterinary surgeon and volunteer at the Reptile Trust charity, told magistrates how a venomous false water cobra, also from the Benton Pet Centre, Longbenton, Newcastle, had become "triangular" in shape due to it being so underweight.
		She said she believed the animal would have died within 24 hours of respiratory failure due to low levels of calcium after a prolonged period of neglect.
		Mrs Heathcote explained how the false water cobra, a usually aggressive snake which carries a toxic venom, had not only become emaciated, it had also developed a mouth infection.

	Re: False Water Cobra Bite ????
		Most likely the bite won't be anything even nearly severe, as you are likely to pull out of the snake's grip before it can do any harm.
		I've had FWC envenomation described to me as causing nausea, drowsiness, headache, and local pain and swelling.
		FWC venom secretions are similar to that of an Eastern Diamondback (C. adamanteus) though in much smaller quantities.

	Venomous Snakes - False Water Cobra Feeding
		I recently acquired a baby female FWC at a local reptile show, I had researched beforehand and from what I read they were eager and vicious feeders.
		I have kept pythons, garters, and boas that were known as harder feeders and I thought a FWC would be no prob.
		Like the hognose, mangrove and other collubrids, the FWC usually appears on venomous forums, so don’t worry about it.
