The World Record of ‘largest Spitting Cobra’ has been achieved by large brown spitting cobra (Naja ashei) from Kenya, Uganda and Ethiopia.

Ashe’s spitting cobra or large brown spitting cobra (Naja ashei), can reach lengths of more than 9 feet (274 centimeters) and is believed to deliver more venom with a single bite than any other cobra on the planet. The snake dwells in the dry lowlands of north and east Kenya, as well as in Uganda and Ethiopia. It is named after James “Jimmy” Ashe, a prominent herpetologist who founded the Bio-Ken snake farm and research center in Watamu, Kenya, where the snake is commonly found.
