Hoodless Cobra - uhm?????? see forest cobra
|
Naja melanoleuca is not going to be refered to as a 'hoodess cobra'. The hoodless cobras belong to the genus Pseudohaje. This genus has two species goldii and nigra. Nigra is the species that is likely to be offerd, goldii just isnt seen in the hobby. If they are goldii i'll take a pair

Quivertree Ltd is owned by Marcellus Hughes ... It is a wholesale / Import company which could be why the prices are cheap (I know nothing on the price of venomous) and therefore have a minimum spend and other trading terms. So my guess would be WC .. and could even be a pre-order list .... meaning they take the orders for the animals then import them ... I've only ever corresponded with the bloke by email and phone (mobile & 0870 No's) roughly two years ago ... I can't vouch for him at all, It was only through my web design work that I spoke to the chap .. a reccomendation from Tom Halvorsen Ltd another wholesaler up North. The company is legit .. any limited company can be checked out at companies house .. http://wck2.companieshouse.gov.uk/7a66201c5b0cdcb59ffdf87d80cadaa8/compdetails Not sure any of this is helpful to you but just thought I'd add what I know about the company.

Even so, P. goldii does spread a hood.
The only "hoodless" cobra is Walterinnesia aegyptia, often known as a Desert Cobra. Monotypical species. _________________ ngiyakuthanda Sonvanger |

Before it becomes a huge debate, it flattens its neck into a narrow hood.
For anyone who wishes to keep one, good luck!!! These things are fast!! Very fast!! _________________ ngiyakuthanda Sonvanger |
