#King cobra # King cobra can be said to be the most fierce snake, the domestic king cobra body length is generally about 3 meters, the longest record is 3.8 meters, but in recent years it has been found that the king cobra length is getting longer and longer, 4 meters long, or even 5 meters, or the introduction of foreign king cobra species, or there is an error.
Recently, in Ziyun County, Anshun City, Guizhou, a farmer found a huge black snake near the chicken shed, and he knew the king cobra by looking at the body color, and the king cobra also looked at people, which scared the farmer to immediately seek help from firefighters.
After several firefighters arrived, they may see more people, and the king cobra began to plan to escape, but under the encirclement of three firefighters, the king cobra was firmly controlled by the snake clamp, put into a plastic bag and weighed, weighing about 14 pounds, in the king cobra species has belonged to the king level.
Because the king cobra is too fierce, it does not measure the length with a ruler, and according to the farmer's visual measurement, the body length is about 5 meters. However, there are very few king cobras with a body length of 5 meters in China, so it is only visual data, not the true length of this snake.
- Can the domestic king cobra grow to more than 5 meters?
Domestic king cobras are generally up to 2-3 meters long, the longest domestic king cobra is recorded as 3.8 meters, and foreign king cobras up to 4 meters long are often found, the largest king cobra body length can reach more than 5.5 meters.
The longest king cobra data record: In 1937, a 5.54-meter-long king cobra was found in Negeri Sembilan, Peninsular Malaysia, the snake was captured and sent to London Zoo, where it grew a little longer in captivity, reaching 5.71 meters.
If a 5-meter-long king cobra is found in China, the weight should be more than 20 pounds, and the king cobra found in China is generally about 3.4 meters long, for example, in a chicken farm in Pu'er, Yunnan, the owner of the farm found a long and thick king cobra, 3.45 meters long and weighing about 15 pounds, is an adult wild king cobra.
There is also in Panzhihua, Sichuan, a snake body as thick as an adult's arm king cobra stuck in the car hood, after it rescued, the king cobra body length of about 3.2 meters, weight of about 14 pounds, so domestic king cobras rarely grow to 5 meters.
Of course, the imported foreign eye king is easy to grow to more than 4 meters, with the exotic pet, convenient transportation and other reasons, foreign varieties of king cobras have also been found in China, for example, in November 2021, in Jiangsu Zhangjiagang Customs, staff in the inspection of imported wood, found a 4-meter-long huge live king cobra hidden in it.
- Why does the Eye King frequently break into the residence?
King cobra is also known for "roller wind", because this poisonous snake has a strong sense of territory, when it finds that someone or other animals break into its territory, it will crawl out and quickly attack and drive away, plus the king cobra also has excellent visual organs, can find about 100 meters of moving object prey, and then chase the prey, so when it has no food in the territory, it will hunt prey around.
The eye king broke into the human dwelling, may be wandering around by mistake, may also come in pursuit of prey, many snakes will break into the human dwelling to prey on rodents, but the main food of the eye king is other snakes, but also chasing cobras and other food.
King cobra not only has advantages in speed, body size, etc., but also immune to other poisonous snakes, whether it is a poisonous snake or a non-poisonous snake, such as cobra, golden ring snake, silver ring snake, rat snake, small python, etc., and even the same kind of eye king, are on the recipe of king cobra.
