Welcome, susan!



You can google a bit, but you get all sorts of reactions depending on the health and age of the individual.

Need more info regarding time frame too?

Welcome susan ,
I think it was not necessary a Egyptian cobra but one of the other species . Best is get a local expert, hulle weet die beste.

perhaps a Rinkhals or a Snouted Cobra?

Hi Susan the only one I could find that comes from that area is the Snouted cobra, it looks like the Egyptian cobra from the top

Egyptian cobra



Snouted cobra



I agree with Dup, the doctors and experts in that area will know more or less what it is

I can't see the photos

[Lisbeth]

Neither can I We don't want to be bitten of any of them, so it's better to know what they look like
