Is the Formosa cobra Naja atra or is it Naja kaouthia. The reason I ask is because the Formosa cobras offered by breeders here in the U.S.A. at shows like Hamburg etc. are much diffrent looking than the Naja atra I have seen or read about. Also I have even read some accounts that say Naja atra are able to spit. The Formosa cobras on the other hand seem not to be spitters. Certian breeders here in the U.S.A. who breed morphs of Naja kaouthia refer to certian their hets as "Formosa phase". Can any experts help me out here? Thanks.
