All cobras screw around with their food a little before they eat it sometimes, especially if it's prekilled. They want to make sure it's dead, some try to find the head, others don't care. Even normal cobras have trouble "finding" their food in captivity due to the fact that they get conditioned that when you opened their cage door and threw something in, they go into that feeding frenzy, like "where is it?". They bite their cage, it's surroundings,themselves, your hand if it's in the way. They find they're food mainly by smell but normal cobras do see better than albinos, but not very well.They're visual acuity is best at dawn and dusk when less glare is present.
