Alexandra Hospital Butterfly Trail - Safety Reminder

[beware-of-snakes]

Awesome. I never knew that the AHBT could hold the snake that I wanted the most.
I've been looking for the Equatorial Spitting Cobra for months but to no avail.
West Coast park was one place containing many cobras.

Anyway, do be careful. If you do encounter a venomous snake that is active at the point of time, simply freeze. Then slowly back away and give the snake space to move away.

But, If you were someone like me who loves snakes and to photograph them, freeze but do not move suddenly as that can threaten the snake.

In general Black Spitting Cobras are not aggressive, though.

heya guys... any idea when the cobras or more active? or like spotted more regularly?

cos most of us wld be out in the mornings to do macros and birding but i suspect that is also the time the cobra comes out.. since its cooler and its prey wld be moving abt.
