King cobra (18.7 feet)

Rearing up to display its flared hood and venomous fangs, the king cobra (Ophiophagus hannah) cuts a threatening figure — and not just because its bite is powerful enough to kill an elephant.

🤎The King Cobra (Ophiophagus hannah), native to South Asia, is the world's longest venomous snake. It's not actually a true cobra, being the sole member of the genus Ophiophagus, not Naja.

There was a glass screen between us actually. The camera was pressed against the glass for this shot as the shutter speed was a mere 1/6 second.

[is-the-snake-video-cute]

what are the main differences between king cobras and actual cobras?

Great question.

True cobras, genus Naja, tend to be medium-sized snakes, about four feet or so long on average. Most of them (with the exception of the Indian and Caspain cobras) can spit their venom from special holes in their fangs, but they vary in how good at that they are. They're highly opportunistic when it comes to food, and are some of the very, very few snakes who will eat carrion.

King cobras (Ophiophagus hannah, the only snake in their genus) are massive in comparison to true cobras, about 13 feet long on average and cabable of getting nearly 20 feet long. They can't spit venom and are highly specialized eaters who eat other snakes almost exclusively. Their venom composition is also quite different; true cobra venom is very dangerous to humans but king cobra bites are exceptionally lethal to humans. Their venom is actually the quickest-acting on humans, it can become a medical emergency in as little as ten minutes and severe envenomations can become lethal in as little as thirty minutes. Genetically, king cobras are like a middle ground between Naja and Dendroaspis, the mambas.

Animal of the Day!

King Cobra (Ophiophagus hannah)

(Photo by Michael Smith)

Conservation Status- Vulnerable

Habitat- Southeast Asia

Size (Weight/Length)- 5.8 kg; 5.4 m

Diet- Snakes; Small mammals; Lizards

Cool Facts- While not technically a true species of cobra, the king cobra is certainly regal. Being the longest venomous snake, the snake’s neurotoxins have a 60% chance of death when untreated after 30 minutes. However, king cobras are relatively shy snakes. Spending the majority of their time sunbathing and sleeping, king cobras’ favorite source of food is other species of snakes. Considered nonaggressive, they usually run when given the option. When cornered king cobras rear up, extend their hood, and hiss very loudly to make their presence known. They only strike as a last resort, making king cobra bites one of the rarest venomous snake bites in the world.

Rating- 12/10 (Please excuse them, they have anxiety.)

Here's the Flockless as each others respective species! Dungeon Meshi was a huge inspiration for this and just my love for my dnd party!

I'll talk about the designs briefly under the cut!

Cherry (Mechanically an Aasimar)

In every form, Cherry is still an Aasimar.

She almost surged due to the Howler, but instead she got a buff, being able to add her Charisma modifier to her attack cantrips.

Frogfolk - Based on the Cape Rain Frog (Breviceps gibbosus). This isn't new info!

Tiefling - She's still small, brown, and has huge eyes. Cherry would always be black and black-coded like all my characters.

Jackalope - Fluffy lil bunny with lil bud antlers.

Kenku - Based on the Canary (Serinus canaria forma domestica).

Yuan-ti - Based on an albino Ball Python (Python regius).

Shelley (Mechanically a Zariel Tiefling)

Shelley's eyes are red and blue, formerly purple, due to a surge caused by the god, the Howler.

Frogfolk - Based on the Amazon Milk Frog (Trachycephalus resinifictrix).

Tiefling - Formerly a Dhampir, she is now some kinda blessed and kinda cursed Zariel Tiefling.

Jackalope - Kept her elegant look as a Jackalope.

Kenku - Based on the Secretary Bird (Sagittarius serpentarius).

Yuan-ti - Based on the King Cobra (Ophiophagus hannah).

Luren (Mechanically a Harengon)

Frogfolk - Based on the Cinnamon Frog (Nyctixalus pictus).

Tiefling - I wanted to keep his cheeky nature in this tiefling design.

Jackalope - Same old Jackalope with a lucky white foot.

Kenku - Based on the Scarlet Macaw (Ara macao).

Yuan-ti - Since he also has an association with the god, Jack the Dealer, I wanted him to have more snake-like proportions.

Silence (Mechanically a Kenku)

Silence's skin is blue due to surge caused by the god, the Howler.

Frogfolk - Based on the Diablito Poison Frog (Oophaga sylvatica).

Tiefling - Their horns are black and white due to their patrons.

Jackalope - They're just fluffy with a blue nose!

Kenku - Based on an American Kestrel (Falco sparverius). This isn't new info!

Yuan-ti - He's a chubby, blue snake!

Cres (Mechanically a Changeling)

Frogfolk - Based on this frog (Hyloscirtus hillis).

Tiefling - Based on one of their forms aka Elia Crescentmoon.

Jackalope - Also based on Elia Crescentmoon if they were a Jackalope.

Kenku - Based on the Common Ground Dove (Columbina passerina).

Yuan-ti - It's their base form, what else can I say?

The King Of Cobras

This 4.3-metre cobra has a name apparently. It was named Elvis after the King of Rock n Roll when it was caught in a residential estate back in 2010. 

The camera was held low on level with Elvis. But the ISO was pushed up to 6400 by the camera to give a hand-holdable shutter speed and this resulted in a noise level of some 8 odd that had to be fixed in post.

Snake Swag Bracket Round 2

(Reticulated python top photo, black mamba bottom photo)

Here we have a showdown between size and speed! Despite their immense length, reticulated pythons (Malayopython reticulatus) are masters of the disappearing act. Named for the 'reticulated' pattern of splotches down their back and sides, these pythons take advantage of disruptive patterning, a type of camouflage that breaks up an animal's outline using a contrasting pattern of light and dark color patches. When curled up in the leaf litter of their forest habitats or tucked away on a tree branch, this pattern helps the reticulated python easily fade away into the background. While the black mamba (Dendroaspis polylepis) can't come close to the size of the reticulated python, it is also not a small snake! It is the second longest venomous snake, after the king cobra (Ophiophagus hannah), and can commonly grow to 9 ft. The black mamba is named not for its body coloration, but for the black lining of their mouths, differing from the white mouth lining of other mambas.
