Spitting Cobra venom

Postby Bushbaby » Wed Dec 03, 2008 8:23 am

About 2 weeks ago I had a call out to the East of Pretoria where I caught a 1 meter Mozambique Spitting Cobra. I have to say the spitters in the East of Pretoria, in my experience, spit more than the ones I have caught in the west of Pretoria.

I took this pic of my t-shirt and glasses afterwards. The white dots on my t-shirt is the venom, and obviously the spots on the glasses as well.

After about 12 beers I can write that in the snow. Oh, you're talking about the small white dots - oops.
