งูเห่าสยามพ่นพิษ.
Naja siamensis.
An impressive Cobra with a highly variable colouration; while its two main colours are black and white (brown variants are also known), it can be either speckled, sprinkled, banded, streamed - almost as if both colours were constantly fighting each other.
Being a Spitting Cobra, it absolutey lives on its name, preferring to spit its venom directly out of its fangs and into the eyes of any attacker, proving an astounding accuracy - making an encounter with this snake quite dangerous. Once the venom gets in contact with the eyes and is left without any instant treatment, it is very likely for the victim to become blind.
...
I came across this Cobra some in Bangkok, well protected behind glass. For the longest of time, I only knew this animal from photographies alone and could never quite believe that such stunning a Cobra could actually exist, with a black and white interplay so bold and surreal. It is a snake that seems like a living canvas; white grounding being sprinkled with a black brush and vice versa. To me, it felt like looking at a myth that had proven to be real. It could have been a Wolpertinger sitting in the tank just as well.
