That is an African Forest cobra; a typical specimen. Just the way it is marked up; as it lives predominantly in thick forest areas.
I'm looking to add one to my collection next year, almost bought a juvenile a while back, but someone else got it 1st.
They are probably about the worst of the cobras to deal with; very intelligent and will literally chase you across a room, not just hood up and strike, but actively pursue you. More mamba like in attitude than cobra like; and second only to the king cobra in size. They are also the species that is known to get the oldest in captivity; one is said to have been 32 years old and it came to captivity after it was an adult, so no telling how old it was.
I just want to get another area set up that is bigger; as I'm not going to have a 9 ft. Forest cobra in my snake room which is 10X14. The numbers just aren't in my favor![]()
