Patrick, your theory is seriously flawed and here's why: all cobras have neurotoxic venom, but many, such as a monocled cobra
(Naja kaouthia), have strong necrotic fractions in it as well. What this means is that while a respirator would probably keep you alive, there's quite a good chance that the necrosis, without AV, would do a serious number on the bite site. I'm sure the resident toxinologists can go into greater detail on the subject.
While by no stretch of the imagination am I an expert, from the looks of your post, you're far from ready for a cobra. Learning from a mentor would be a lot safer. Not slamming you, just suggesting. ----- Venomous snakes---best hobby on earth!
