a pic of my Naja Siamensis

[img][/img]

Yes finally, I learned how to add pictures you can not understand how I have tried to get a picture. Then I'm really bad white computers

Nice snake

It's pretty cool to see the brown variation of this cobra !!

N. siamensis? Really?

I had it pinned as a Naja naja (Sri Lanka) when I first saw it


Dave

As I am a beginner I did not want to write that for I have not much knowledge but this would have been my suggestion too, Dave.

I also thought it was a Naja Naja when I bought it. has the same coverage on the shield. So when I got back to my room I took up the cobra and began to take photos of it. then when I put it in the cage he began to spit on me. so I sent the pictures I had taken to a guy that should be really good at cobras o he said it was a Naja siamensis. so that is what I go on. but i can have wrong.

best regards Larsa

From all I know, spitting is also known from Naja atra and Naja kaouthia but not from Naja naja ... but I photographed Naja siamensis at Peter's zoo and this species really looks completely different.

Maybe Peter can help to clarify this?

i know that atra is spitting but kaouthia have i never heard and see they spitting. i can see if i have some more pics on the cobra. yes that will be nice if he can help us clarify this

i think i have som more pics but not in same quality as your pics Guenter

regards Larsa

yes peter maybe can help us clarify this.

hope you understand my English. I am not accustomed to Discussion in English. sad to lose so much when i do not use that language was much better before when I worked at an airport o using English daily solid practice makes perfect

Never mind. I'll show here only my best, You won't see my 90% scrap here

hahah but the piccs you show us are really nice.

I will send you the to WW's asiatic cobra page.

http://www.bangor.ac.uk/~bss166/Taxa/AsNaja.htm

You will find information about all species of asiatic cobra. Actually, it seem the difference between N. atra and N. siamensis is in scalation and maybe in some details in coloration-pattern.

I would have guessed N. naja from the photo, but if it is spitting , then it is definitely NOT N. naja. I have had, seen, and produced many N. siamensis, and they do vary greatly in color and pattern, even within the same clutch. WW's site is the best place to get info on Asiatic Cobras.

I have produced siamensis that were almost completely brownish to brown/black, some had a little white, some were more than 50% white. That one pictured is definitely one I would like to have. Very different.
