    Impressively bad snake identification, really. Two of the most distinctive and different-looking snakes in the world, with one of the primary differences currently on full and prominent display … and OP just confused them.

      OP probably just found the picture. OOP probably just found a picture of a snake in a computer and made the joke, not caring it’s actually a cobra.

      I don’t think most people can identify five breeds of snakes reliably, but I think most people know a cobra when they see it, due to the fins or whatever they’re called. Like you know when you hear a rattlesnake (I assume; I’ve never encountered one).
