100% HET Albino Cape Coral Cobra
Cape Coral Cobra (Aspidelaps lubricus)
Captive Bred by Obscure Tails
These are the only albino and het albino Cape Coral Cobras in the world. I am finally going to be releasing offspring from my albino to het albino pairing. This project has been years in the making.
The Cape Coral Cobra is a smaller, highly underrated elapid species native to southern Africa. Known for their bold defensive displays and vibrant coloration, these snakes often exhibit striking orange, red, or coral tones contrasted with dark banding. Unlike many larger cobras, Aspidelaps lubricus remains relatively small and slender, making them a more space-efficient species for experienced venomous keepers.
Despite their size, they are active, alert, and display classic hooding behavior when threatened, making them an incredibly engaging species to observe. Their fossorial tendencies mean they appreciate deep substrate and secure hiding opportunities.
At Obscure Tails, our Cape Coral Cobras are captive bred, well-started, and feeding reliably before being offered for sale.
