About Aspidelaps
Aspidelaps is a genus of venomous elapid snakes endemic to Africa. Species in the genus Aspidelaps are commonly called shield-nosed cobras or coral cobras after their cobra hoods and enlarged rostral scales. However, the hood is not nearly as well developed in Aspidelaps as it is in Naja.
