7 ft Egyptian Cobra

Bit of excitement for the afternoon, our son James was painting a door on the back veranda and heard a noise, it was a 7 to 8 ft Egyptian Cobra slithering about 10ft from him.

I ran out and saw him clearly, he was huge and fast. He took off I hope not to see him again around the house.

I took a photo of another fellow of the same variety a couple of days ago although he was in our murum/gravel pit a long way from anywhere.

I will post the photo when I download it.
