Cobra

Mozambique Spitting Cobra (Naja mossambica) and please add it to this mission http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/2273...

Fantástica

VERY nice specimen too.

The exposure has distorted the colours, but Lars is still right, this is a spitter. i catch these nasties often enough to recognise.
N. melanoleucia's colouring is always darker towards the tail, and would still be visible in this shot.

As stated above, this is NOT a black mamba, it is a cobra.

I suggest it is Forest cobra

Yep, the hood gives it away. :-)

As suggested by Lars this is a species of Cobra, not a black mamba.

It oughta be a Spitting Cobra...but this specimen doesn't match the usual colorization though...
