Cape cobras have fixed front fangs and do not spit venom, but bite instead. They transmit a powerful and fast acting neurotoxic venom which is life-threatening and needs urgent medical attention.

Fangs of a Twig or Vine Snake (Thelotornis capensis capensis) from Hluhluwe, KZN. Note how far back in the mouth the fangs are situated. This is a highly venomous snake but rarely bites. There is no antivenom for a bite from a Vine Snake and no fatal bites recorded in South Africa. A few fatalities elsewhere have been documented. Despite the fangs being far back in the mouth, the Vine Snake can open its mouth wide and bite easily.
