Javan spitting cobra

The Javan spitting cobra (Naja sputatrix) is a species of cobra found in Java and nearby Indonesian islands. Like other spitting cobras, it can eject venom from its fangs as a defensive mechanism, typically aiming for the eyes of a threat. This venom can cause intense pain and potential blindness if not washed out quickly, though it generally causes no harm to unbroken skin. While they can spray venom, they do not technically "spit" it; rather, they squeeze muscles around their venom glands to eject the spray. The Javan spitting cobra is characterized by a uniform yellowish-brown or black coloration. It belongs to the Naja genus within the Elapidae family.123
