Answer 2

Spitting Cobras

Answer 3

The King Cobra CANNOT "spit" venom. Only Spitting Cobras can do that, and they are the only snakes that can. The only way the venom can harm the victim when it gets in their eyes is if they scratch their eyes which allows the venom to enter the blood stream. If it does not kill their prey, it at least blinds them so the snake can feed.
Like all Cobras, and King Cobra has fixed fangs that cannot fold up, but the fangs of a Spitting Cobra have the holes in them facing forward so the venom can be pushed out at high pressure and shoot forward toward the victim.

Answer 4

Yes,Three species of snake can spit or eject the venom in a fine spray, which is aimed at the eyes of an enemy and projected for distances up to 2.4 m (8 ft). If the venom gets into the eyes, it may cause blindness. The spitting is used only in defense and never to obtain food. All these three species are cobra.

One group is the African ringhal cobra , and the second includes the black-necked cobra , the Mozambique spitting cobra , the Mozambique red spitting cobra , and the west African spitting cobra.

The third group is from eastern Asia and includes the golden spitting cobra of the Malay Peninsula and Sumatra, the Indonesian spitting cobra of southern Indonesia, the common spiting cobra and Samar spitting cobra of the Philippines, the Chinese and Indochinese populations of the Asian black cobra and some populations of the widespread Asian monocled cobra

Hope it helps you!

Answer 5

The king cobra can't spit its venom. Only the spitting cobras can do that, and there are various species of them. They do NOT spit their venom at prey - they bite and inject venom the same way as any other venomous snake when hunting. The spitting is purely for defence.

Spitting Snake

Answer 7

Well, just to clarify, the King Cobra isn't one of the "Spitting" species. There are many different snakes that can do so however. Some of them, as per "Manbir-online.com", are the African ringhal cobra, (Hemachatus haemachatus) , and the second includes the black-necked cobra (Naja nigricollis), the Mozambique spitting cobra (N . mossambica) , the Mozambique red spitting cobra (N . pallida) , and the wEst African spitting cobra (N . katiensis).

The third group is from eastern Asia and includes the golden spitting cobra (Naja sumatrana) of the Malay Peninsula and Sumatra, the Indonesian spitting cobra (N . sputatrix) of southern Indonesia, the common spiting cobra (N . philippinensis) and Samar spitting cobra (N . samarensis) of the Philippines, the Chinese and Indochinese populations of the Asian black cobra (N . atra), and some populations of the widespread Asian monocled cobra (N . kaouthia).

Aside from the cobra genus, there is a type of pit-viper that can "spit" it's venom. Trimeresurus mangshanensis, more commonly known as the Mangshan pit-viper, is a venomous pit-viper species endemic to Hunan province in China. It is reputed to be the only non-cobra known to spit venom. No subspecies are currently recognized.
