I thought cobras were just in India. All over Africa as well I now see. I bet Australia has them. Just looked and surprised they do not have them. Figures though. They probably have snakes there 10x as deadly.

Pretty good documentary on HBO called Alabama Snakes about the first person ever charged with murder by using snakes to kills someone. Really good.

they probably have the deadliest in africa. I want to say the forest cobra is one of the worst. I believe all mambas, cobras, taipans are all part of the same family...glad the US doesn't have any of them

Oh, I don't know.
I'd be pissed that Raj is constantly playing his pungi in front of my face, trying to hypnotize me!

Very strange to try to bite a sleeping snake...

It's got to be extremely rare. Snakes don't typically bite humans unless startled / cornered.
Actually it not that rare. Snakes seek out warmth in the night and a human body is a source of warmth. Person rolls over or moves in their sleep and bam snake strikes.

Getting bit while sleeping has to be rare. I have had rattle snakes under my tent under my legs while camping. They went there for the warmth.

My wife has been attacked by a snake a handful of times while sleeping. The snake lost each time.

Well shite, you are right. I guess I forget about all the poor countries where snakes just roam everywhere, even in domiciles.

People have been bitten by rattlesnakes in their own bed.
It's rare and probably would only happen in a place like Texas, but it's happened.

I will never be in Nigeria at any point of my life, so I'm good.

Back in the seventies an investigative reporter was doing a story on a cult called Synanon. They put a rattlesnake in his mailbox and it bot him when he opened it.

There's a reason that primitive house keeping in Africa required sweeping a perimeter clearn of all trash, plants and other stuff, to keep the critters away from the huts (and to keep the critters that eat critters away, as well.)
There is an excellent short story about Black mambas by Roald Dahl. It's worth a search from your library, just to know that you are not there.
link that interrupts but has the story

Mine always falls between the seats in the car. Maybe he went to check his.

They are, and although the US doesn't have cobras, taipans or mambas, we do have coral snakes which are also a part of that same family of snakes (Elapid snakes).

they remain pretty solitary as far as i know and have to practically chew on you to inject venom. people get mambas and browns in their house and vehicles
