These are of Priscilla, shes at a local Reptile Zoo in Joplin, Missouri. She isnt mine, and will NOT eat rodents..She regurges. They have to feed her lizards, frogs, etc
For this pic she was very defensive, last couple of times Ive been there, she has been really laid back. Very VERY intelligent animals.

thats what i find so interesting about them-thier inteligence,seeing one up close i still think would put the fear of God into me though!!!!!, and i certainly wouldnt want my poor lil BRB to ever run into one,it must be amazing to get that close to such an animal though.

Not having seen this particular King in person, I couldn`t say for sure, but it looks like the victim of a venomoid surgery. It looks like it has a sunken depression under the eyes, although, I could be wrong. Not trying to start a fuss or controversy, just my observation, and or opinion.
Best regards,

They should be feeding Priscilla other snakes....... cobras eat other snakes, besides frogs and lizards.

Here is a picture of my 11 foot King Cobra (Ophiohagus hannah) that was imported just about a month ago now. She has adjusted very nicely to captivity and the nose rub that is in this picture is all but healed up.

Wow, that's a BIG hot! How is her temperment, considering she was imported? What do you feed her?

me too especially the king and monacle but i wouldnt get one ever because of not been experienced with them,getting a bite from a boa can hurt a bit but getting a bite from one of those is life and death.
