    Update on the Ophiophagus hannah

    Bad news
    found a dead baby O H in the drive yesterday
    maybe the mother layed some eggs and I saw her leaving before they hatched
    (instinct to prevent the mother eating her young)

    Time to think about systematically blowing up large sections of your garden. Pretty sure we've got them here too, cobras definitely, king cobras, probably.
    Security levels have recently been raised to 'accute phobia'.

    The only 'incidents' I've heard about with cobra's involved them lunging at motosai's, and not very expertly. They don't seem very aggressive to me, compared to the mamba's and aussie snakes of this world.

    ^I ran over a huge one which spanned the dirt road I was riding on near Aranyaprathet years ago - came very close to flipping the bike ('58 Triumph Tiger T-110). When I first saw something glistening in the road ahead of me, I thought it was water which had collected in a slight depression in the road. By the time I saw what it actually was, all I could do was try to get my legs up over the handlebars.

    Survival rate is nominal for the young ones, hence the large number of births.
    These serpents should largely be looked upon as a benefit, less a detriment.
    Can't imagine our disgust with the numbers of other more potential harmful critters, if your snake friends were not around to diminish the swelling populations.

    The lifeforms that should be of suspect are the two-legged upright hominid types. The truer of the destructive force.
