One of our snouted cobras (Naja annulifera) just laid some eggs! You can see the contrast between the fertile eggs (large and white) and the infertile eggs (small orange/yellow). Now the wait begins! #reptile #reptiles #snake #snakes #venom #venomoussnake #venomoussnakes #venomextraction #kyreptilezoo #redrivergorge #gopoco #venomislife #cobra #mamba #rattlesnake #herpetology #herpetologist #zoo #reptilezoo #snakesofinstagram | Kentucky Reptile Zoo

The king cobra stands a step above the rest amongst other species of snake, but, despite its genetic differences, its hood and potent venom place it solidly within the cobra family's ranks. But these fiercesome reptiles aren't so different from us, and it's believed that the king cobra shares a monogomous relationship with their mate. Get closer to the action than ever before in Legends of Venom: Cobra, part of Snakebite, tonight at 8pm on National Geographic WILD UK. | National Geographic UK
