Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

I thought King too, but the nostrils are smaller than I thought King's have, though yes, head scales are right. Gotta be a cobra though.

I'm going to have to disagree with the overall "Cobra" consensus here and say that I'm 90% positive that that's a colubrid of sorts. Perhaps an eastern rat snake sp.? It'll be almost impossible to get a definitive ID off of that picture though.
But it's pretty obvious it's not a Naja sp., on hooded cobras you can see the small loose scales on the underneath sides of the neck that they use to "hood up." This snake obviously doesn't have that. Also, the snake appears to be in a defensive posture, I've never seen a Naja sp. or king for that matter, adopt a defensive posture like that. And if that's a king cobra, it's the oddest colored one I've ever seen.
It could possibly be some sort of Australian elapid, but I doubt it, I'm still betting on "colubrid."
It might be helpful to tell us what website you saw the snake on. Obviously if it was a site about the rainforests of Thailand, that'd be a huge tip.
