A rare golden spitting cobra recently caught the attention of locals in a village in Nakhon Nayok province, Thailand. The snake, measuring around 1.2 metres in length, generated significant interest among villagers, who gathered to view the mesmerising creature.
The story behind the snake’s discovery started when Piyapan Bua-Phae, a Facebook user, posted photographs of the golden cobra. An assistant village headman, Trongphon Imjit, found the reptile crossing a road in the village. Although initially unaware of the snake’s species, upon closer inspection, the 49 year old recognised that it might be a cobra due to its scales. Intrigued by the unique and brilliant golden colour of the snake, Trongphon called his younger brother and three other friends to help capture the creature and bring it back to his home in a sack.
