Black Spitting Cobra - Kipandi Butterfly Park, Sabah, Borneo

Unknown Cobra - Kipandi Butterfly Park, Sabah, Malaysian Borneo.

A very small individual, wild-caught and on display at Kipandi Butterfly Park. For more details see: http://www.zoochat.com/249/zooboy28-goes-borneo-438947/index4.html#post966874

There are two cobra species on Borneo - King Cobra and Black Spitting Cobra. Any thoughts on what this one is? Faint banding suggests spitting over the more boldly banded king.

I'd say the Black Spitting Cobra, it looks like it.

Well its certainly not a King as the head shape is wrong and the colouration is not right for the bornean sub-species of it either,so it is more than likely the Black Spitting Cobra.

Thanks both, will put it down as Spitting.
