The difference between the "Black" Cape Cobra and Black Spitting Cobra is the belly colour. The Black Spitting Cobra's belly is more silverish/grey and the Cape Cobra's belly is brownish. The band on the neck is only on juveniles and fades away with the age.
Location is very important and colouration can be different.

𝐒𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜 𝐍𝐚𝐦𝐞: Naja Nivea

The venom of the Cape Cobra is highly potent and primarily neurotoxic, meaning it attacks the nervous system of its prey. If untreated, a bite from this snake can be fatal to humans.
However, fatalities are relatively rare due to the availability of antivenom and prompt medical treatment.
The Cape Cobra is renowned for its striking appearance, typically featuring a body coloration that ranges from yellowish or light brown to dark brown or almost black. Some individuals may exhibit a speckled pattern.
These cobras inhabit a variety of habitats, including grasslands, savannas, scrublands, and semi-desert areas.
Human settlements are not uncommon habitats for Cape Cobras, and they may frequently be encountered in suburban areas, particularly where there are suitable rodent populations.
Despite their reputation as highly venomous snakes, Cape Cobras are often shy and will typically try to avoid confrontation with humans. However, if threatened or cornered, they can become aggressive and deliver a potent venomous bite.

In summary, the Cape Cobra is a fascinating and important component of the ecosystem in Southern Africa, embodying both beauty and danger in its sleek form. While respecting its venomous nature, efforts to understand and conserve this iconic snake are crucial for maintaining the biodiversity of its native habitats.

High genetic divergence but low morphological differences in red-necked keelback snake, Rhabdophis subminiatus
*
Abstract
Integrative taxonomy based on multiple data sets plays an important role in species classification, especially in the case of cryptic species. Rhabdophis subminiatus is a colubrid snake with broadly geographical distribution, and two subspecies (Rhabdophis subminiatus subminiatus and Rhabdophis subminiatus helleri) are currently recognized within this species. Based on external morphological comparison, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA)-based phylogeny, single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-based phylogeny, and population structure analysis, we explored the intraspecific taxonomy of R. subminiatus. Phylogenetic analysis based on mtDNA and SNPs consistently uncovered two highly supported lineages separated by a large genetic distance, with SNP-based principal component analysis (PCA) and population structure analysis displaying similar results. Despite the fact that PCA based on morphological data did not show population differentiation, unlike the molecular data, we suggest that R. s. helleri should be elevated to the specific rank as Rhabdophis helleri based on all lines of evidence. The distributional boundary between the two species R. helleri and R. subminiatus is tentatively proposed.
