Snake ID

Wife and a passing motorcyclist think this could be a young king cobra. Only about a foot long but don't want to take any chances.

Yep, King Cobra. The scales are the proof

I'd be more worried about the kids as they haven't yet learned to control their venom!

There should be more of them.

Female king cobras can lay between 20 and 50 eggs at a time. They lay their eggs in a mound and cover them with leaves to keep them protected.

Are you sure? The eyes look rather big for a cobra and a lot of green on the tail.

That has me worried as well. The next day I caught another one same size as the first. One could come under the gate or over the fence but two in two days? It's been a couple of days now and no new sightings, hope it remains that way.

Don't worry, they'll sneak up on you...

You won't see them :)
