The snake is closely related to the true cobras, but differs from them in having keeled dorsal scales, in producing live young and in the maxilla bone only carrying the fangs. Fixed front fangs. The fangs are modified with the discharge orifice facing the front, allowing this snake to spray its venom at an attacker’s eyes. Venom: The venom is both neurotoxin and cytotoxin. Estimated lethal dose is 50-60mg and the venom glands have a capacity of 80-120mg, average yield is 100mg
