I've looked at pictures of both species and am compltely confused. They look like the smae thing. My question is what are the differences between the Egyptian cobra and the snouted cobra? Is their venom or venom yield any different? Thanks in advance, and have a great day.

According to toxinology.com the haje is slightly higher on the "Dangerous Index". It speaks little of annulifera venom, not giving average venom quantity or venom qualities.

I've noticed toxinology.com is kind of random. It also ranks the Indian cobra higher than the cape cobra on the dangerousness index. The dangerousness index also has to do with the amount of people that particular snake bites or kills. Another question I had was do males or females get bigger in naja?

In annulifera from what I read, males are the larger sex. In haje males seem to be comparatively close in size. I have also read that males comparatively have smaller heads than like size females.

Apart from head and rostral scale shape, the best way of differentiating them is through the dorsal scale row count: most N. haje have 21 scale rows at midbody, most annulifera have 19 (and anchietae 17).
Note that many specimens in captivity are mislabelled or misidentified.
Cheers,
WW
