King Cobra is definitely a very famous highly venomous snake. Whether it is its own detoxification or its toxicity, it can be said that it can rank among the top three among all highly venomous snakes. Its body size is known as the largest highly venomous snake in the world. Its body length can reach more than five meters, and the life of the King Cobra, which uses its staple food to the same type, can reach an astonishing twenty years.
Why do we rarely see king cobra cubs in life? The first reason is that after the king cobra hatches their cubs, they will stay in their nests for up to three months. Although the cubs will also appear outside during this period, most places where King cobras look for hatching eggs are rarely visited, so the probability of cubs being discovered outside can be said to be very small.
And the second reason is because of their growth rate. Many people may not know very well when the king cobra will lay and hatch eggs. Every year, the king cobra will gradually wake up from hibernation at the end of April. After crazy eating to supplement the energy consumption during hibernation, time quietly comes to the end of June. When July enters, the temperature at this time is not only very suitable for them to lay eggs, but also helps the king cobra hatch eggs. Although the king cobra will personally participate in the hatching of snake eggs. , but everyone knows that snakes are cold-blooded animals, so they still cannot meet the temperature required for snake egg hatching. Therefore, in order to increase the survival chance of snake eggs, they usually start laying and hatching eggs in July. From eighteen days to one month, young king cobras will break out of their shells and stay in the nest for nearly three months. At this time, it is October of the year. Although they will learn to prey and grow, they will usually be within the territory of female snakes. Then in November, they will return to the snake nest to start hibernation, and start growing independently in the second year.
Although king cobras can live for twenty years, their growth rate is the fastest between the first year to the second year. They can grow to about two meters in the first year of hatching, and the small part can even grow to three meters in the second year. At this time, they can no longer be called young snakes. After all, have you ever seen a child of three meters? Their growth rate and the protection of female snakes for them, so the chance of seeing the king cobra cubs can be said to be very small.
And how we can identify whether it is a king cobra's cub. The skin on the surface of the adult king cobra will basically appear in two colors: black and white. In addition, the color distribution of the body is clearly distributed, allowing us to easily identify the king cobra. The cub also has these characteristics. Of course, when these characteristics are met, a faint yellow will appear on their bodies. This yellow is whether it is a minor or not yet reached the standard of sub-adults.
