The 4m male snake is named Aran. Meanwhile, the female named Alpana.

When it comes to mating season, female snakes often crawl back and forth to find vacancies (look for males) and at the same time release fluids with a characteristic odor to signal and seduce male snake .

The mating process takes about an hour. When preparing to give birth, cows crawled back and forth in the barn, looking for sunken areas, grass to give birth. Each birth can produce up to 30 eggs.

Billy Collett, a member of the Australian Reptile Park, hopes the zoo's two-snake breeding program will be an important premise to establish a standard process for breeding in captivity.

Although it is not the most unique snake in the world, but its strength as well as its distinctive appearance make the Cobra cobra receive a lot of attention.
