Spitting Cobra vs My Face!

In this episode, Coyote goes mano a mano (figuratively) with a spitting cobra! The incredible Mozambique spitting cobra's venom-spitting defense mechanism sure is unique and incredibly toxic... but just how accurate are those blinding spit takes?! Coyote will don a face shield and protective goggles to get face to face with this intimidating cobra to find out for himself!
The Mozambique spitting cobra adds an extra element of danger with its ability to "spit" venom at potential threats. Venom in the eyes or mucus membranes of a would-be attacker will cause intense irritation and temporary blindness, allowing the spitting cobra the opportunity to escape. A last resort defense for the cobra is to bite and delivery a toxic envenomation that is considered a medical emergency!

[@VegetableMigraine]

It should be noted that a pressure bandage, as shown here, is only recommended for snakes that use neurotoxin venom in order to slow the spread. These are usually elapids like mambas and cobras. They will have oval heads and eyes. If the snake has a venom that will cause localized damage to tissue then a pressure bandage will cause more damage. Even for elapids, a pressure bandage is a bit disputed.

[@Centermass762]

Thank you for this valuable information that I'll never remember. 🤣

[@flowers2734]

i think coyote mentioned it's venom was neurotoxic and cytotoxic, whats the proper procedure for cyotoxic bites?

[@andrerossouw5285]

@@flowers2734 as correctly mentioned by @vegetablemigraine, any bite containing cytotoxic venom should never receive a pressure bandage as it will keep the incredibly potent cytotoxin of this species locally contained and will most definitely cause incredibly severe damage to the tissue of the bite site(so severe amputations are not uncommon with naja mossambica). The neurotoxic element of their venom can only be managed on site by keeping the bite site non elevated below the level of your heart to ensure a sustained spread to ones heart. The action immediately would be to stay calm, limit movement of the limb that was bitten and be driven by someone to a hospital as quickly as possible. Symptoms will always be treated symptomatically first before antivenin is administered. One of my good friends bitten by this species received all the correct treatment, antevenin and was even at the hospital within 20mins of the bite and still was in a coma for 2 days. Bite symptoms affect is all very differently but same protocols are followed and assessed on am individual basis. Sorry for the long message, hope that assists with your question a bit🙏🏼

[@trogdor8764]

A snake's not going to be able to outrun or hide from a leopard on open ground, so unless there's a hole nearby its best option is probably to stand its ground and try to send the leopard packing.

Does the cobra have the venom stored somewhere or is it made on command as needed?
