webfact Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 What a lot of cobras! But it's no laughing matter for one house owner.... Picture: Thai Rath Thai Rath reported that a house owner in downtown Hat Yai in southern Thailand got the fright of their life when they went to the loo. Inside the bathroom was a two meter long cobra. The door was slammed shut and the snake catchers were promptly called. The snake men were also called to a house in Nathawee district of Songkhla. There in some vegetation by the side of a house a large King Cobra had taken up residence. Picture: Thai Rath The snake - known as Ngu Jong Ang (or locally as Ngu Bong Laa) in Thai - was four meters long. It was milked of its venom by snake catchers before being returned to nature, said Thai Rath.

toofarnorth Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Now that's what I call a snake ! But glad the ones around here are a whole lot smaller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahjongguy Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Yeah, but, the smaller cobras have much stronger venom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luuk Krueng Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 What kind of herpetologist are you? All cobras have the same venom. But the king cobra stores a bigger amount in it's glands. Only younger cobras or almost all venomous snakes are deadlier because they can't control how much venom they'll inject at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

worgeordie Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 So the cobra grew from 2 meters to 4 meters,or are they talking about 2 different ones ? just yesterday heard a breaking of glass in my tool cupboard, screws and glass all over the floor,thinking maybe a rat or mouse might have knocked it of the shelf. Cleaned it all up,and couple hours later went back to get a hammer,and there lying on the floor was a huge rat snake, it must have been 2.5 meters, just left the door open and hope it buggers off. regards worgeordie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stand corrected then! I had been told by professional snake wranglers in Oz that baby venomous Aussie snakes like taipans browns and tigers (as examples) do indeed have by far more potent venom (per cc) than their adult counterparts. If this is really true then be very afraid cause these three snakes make cobra venom look like cows milk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the level of potency that these bad boys possess, does it really matter which one is gonna' kill you faster and last I heard, "cows milk" couldn't kill and elephant the way a King Cobra can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
