SLITHERY AND SCARY

Snakes have the power to fascinate and repel, and if you want to view snakes from a safe distance and learn at the same time, you could do a whole lot worse than taking a look at the only Internet resource dedicated to cobras. This site contains many excellent photographs and very interesting facts about this particular member of the Elapidae family. For instance, a King Cobra holds the record for the longest venomous snake recorded at a staggering 18 feet 3 inches, and it can spray its venom into the face of someone standing up to 8 feet away! Just in case you find yourself confronted by a cobra--or indeed any other snake--there is an informative guide on first aid for snake bite, as well as a detailed description of snake anatomy.
