Well i dont realy know much i dont keep them but spitters are able to aim for the eyes, i would imagine there pretty intelligent due to being able to do that. Also i heard with King Cobras if you try and distract them with your arm they follow your arm up to your face lol I do think they are pretty intelligent more intelligent than some species.

I work in a Coagulation laboratory in a teaching hospital. We use snake venoms to test certain aspects of blood clotting. It tends to make you a bit nervous when you know the only anti venom to the one you are using is stored in Brazil.
