OK - I've got way too many things to say about this to just pass by.
First - remembering some of your other posts, you come off as very young & pretty inexperienced. I am not trying to insult you, but this is the impression I get.
Second - you have to have a permit to keep venomous in florida and at one point I was pretty familiar with the requirements to obtain one. housing AND experience requirements. my point here is that if you had enough experience to obtain a permit, you would probably know the answer to your questions. and if you don't, why do you have it. Egyptian cobras are not the hardest things in the world to work with, but they aren't what I would recommend as a starter, either. Also, when I was in FL visiting a (reptile)dealer/friend, I stopped in to a few places - they wanted to see my FL permit before selling me hots. (they had my NY permit on file, so I just arranged to have them shipped). If you don't have a permit, I'm pretty sure that the person that sold it you (if acquired in State) could be prosecuted. Again, the age question comes to mind, and I apologize if you are not a minor.
Third - why do you want to feed it snakes, anyway? an adult egyptian should readily take rodents - live, p/k, and probably even f/t. All the ones I ever had or worked with did, including some fairly fresh imports.
