Jollygoodfellow Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 :lol: < Dave's Cobra is the best!Well, he brought it over to the front of my garage door....not a very pretty thing, so I said forget the deal.Well, unless he now lowers it to 75 pesos! :540:He said 100. I'm at 80...firm. They are cool looking...they have his mouth taped shut....are these things, ummm...dangerous? :89:Where's an Aussie when you need one? :508: I would buy it and kill it, so it never gets to grow up. Sorry call me mean spirited but me and poisonous snakes do not get along. I have been told that Cobras can be nasty little critters and the fact that a baby one was found in your neighborhood might be a sign that momma and daddy may not be far away. to add to my above post The Philippine Cobra (Naja philippinensis) is a stocky, highly venomous snake native to the Philippines. Seems they are not normally found in Davao, so maybe it is not a cobra? I'm going to have him brought over again today, and take a photo. I'm not a snake expert....the house boy told me that is what it is. How many legs has it got ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No name Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 Sometimes it is really hard to get good information from the web.A few years ago, i found that the cobra found in the Philippines is the common brown cobra.Today, i found several websites referring to the King Cobra being the Philippines I still doubt it. I just don't think King's are here. I think they just call it that.What I'm sure is here has venom more toxic than the King. But the King is one of the few snakes that will charge a human. They are not only defensive but will become offensive if they feel threatened and they grow to more than 20 feet. An article about a bite in Mindanao. Dad looked for a witch doctor for treatment. Since there is no anti-venom here, it was just as well.http://zamboangajournal.blogspot.com/2007/06/cobra-kills-boy-in-south-philippines.htmlResult was death within 20 minutes.I love reptiles, had two boa named Alice and Cooper but I would not have a cobra. Nice conversational item until you can't talk any more.wiki:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philippine_CobraThis site seems to have the most accurate information but looks rather old:http://www.bangor.ac.uk/~bss166/Taxa/AsNaja.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
