Indochinese spitting cobra

The Indochinese spitting cobra (Naja siamensis) is a species of cobra found in Southeast Asia. Like other spitting cobras, it can eject venom from its fangs as a defensive mechanism, typically aiming for the eyes of a perceived threat. This venom can cause intense pain and potentially temporary or permanent blindness if not promptly washed out. While they can spray venom up to 3 meters (10 feet), they also deliver venom through biting, preying on small mammals, amphibians, reptiles, eggs, and birds. The Indochinese spitting cobra is classified as vulnerable by the IUCN due to habitat loss.12
