There is the Brazilian Smooth Snake, "FalseWaterCobra", Cyclagras gigas which occurs in Eastern Bolivia, Paraguay, southern Brazil and northern Argentina.
The FalseWaterCobra is a large robust snake similar in stature to the Cribo and Indigo snakes.
The FalseWaterCobra is an excellent display snake and being diurnal it is usually active during the day.
Cobras are venomous snakes of family Elapidae, of several genera.
Cobras kill their prey, usually small rodents and birds, by injecting a neurotoxin through their hollow fangs.
The cobra's most recognizable feature is its hood, a flap of skin and muscle behind the head which it can flare, perhaps for the purpose of making it appear bigger and more threatening to predators.
