As a matter of fact, when it was to be killed it spreaded its head making me to believe it's a cobra but the clour doesn't look cobra
There two types endemic to West Africa. The forest cobra that is brownish and does not spit and this black type that spits venom.
Both are deadly all the same

A very long and black snake was killed this morning at Henry Carr postgraduate hostel of university of Lagos...zoologists in the house kindly help identify the type of the snake.


Lala food is ready...

That's a West African Forest Cobra. Its venom is deadly and may kill in 2 hours if there isn't adequate medical treatment.

You should try getting rodents out of the environment!

The snake looks like a Black Mamba;
One of the most deadliest snake in the world,
Kills in less than a minute no matter how strong your are,
One of the fastest in the world,
And mostly Above six feet tall for an adult male.

Lucky set of students. grin

This is a spitting cobra. A black mamba is actually greyish in colour. It is called a "black" mamba because of its inky black mouth.

Just for your information, this snake could easily blind all the guys who killed it by spitting in their eyes from a few feet away and with absolute precision. A cornered, nervous and agitated cobra (just like a mamba) will not think twice before delivering deadly bites at rapid rate. Lack of quick medical attention means you will bleed internally to death due to blood clots.

Black mamba is not endemic to Nigeria. They are found in the southern region of Africa.
You are right about the lethality though
That snake right there is a spitting cobra

That's not a black mamba. Black mambas don't have black scales nor exist in Nigeria. They have grey to silvery brown scales and are called mambas because of the black inner groves of their mouth.

Wow, God really saved them at that hostel. Shedding skin means the snake is getting bigger, getting bigger means it is feeding well, feeding well among humans means its getting bolder, getting bolder means one day it will attack a human and pump venom inside the person. I hate snakes sad

Even as fine as that surrounding. Snakes can really be found anywhere undecided
It came because of rodents like rats.

Keep your area free of rats and you won't get a visit from this guy.

AFRICAN KING COBRA
Bros that is not a king cobra. It is a normal cobra. King Cobras are very big like Pythons and long like 18ft or more. Nobody will see a King Cobra and try to kill it, you will first run away when you see it because if that King Cobra snake stands, it is taller than 6ft on the ground, it can spit deadly venom straight into your eyes that will cause immediate blindness and the king Cobra can move very fast and strike while standing. The king cobra is the only snake that hunts and kills a python or boa for food, although sometimes they get strangled in the process and both snakes die. Fortunately for us, there's no King Cobras in Nigeria. You find them in Asia, like India.

See the picture below, that's a king cobra that tried to eat a python. It obviously bite the python with venom to kill it, but because the python is also huge, the python also made sure it strangled the king Cobra to death before the venom killed it. Can you see how big and long that king Cobra is? Imagine facing a huge snake that is over 18 feet long, a snake that can stand, spit venom and move very fast while standing at the same time. No other snake can do that, only a king Cobra. Even a python will crawl on its belly. King Cobra will stand over 6ft tall and look you straight in the eyes. It is the bravest and most proud snake in the world. Also the most intelligent snake

That’s a rain forest cobra. Highly venomous with postsynaptic neurotoxic venom that attack the respiratory centers in the brain, causing respiratory arrest and cardiac failure. Thank God no one was bitten by that as because Nigeria hospital are wack and most don’t have anti venom
Re: Long, Black Snake Killed In UNILAG Postgraduate Hostel by timchogon81: 4:17pm On Jul 10, 2021
