The King Cobra - Ophiophagus hannah , is the largest poisonous snake in the world and is truly the “King” of all venomous snakes. King Cobras are placed in the “Elapidae Family”, which has an identifying trait of having “Fixed Fangs” set at the front of the mouth. It is not uncommon for the King Cobra to reach a length over 18 feet. I have heard stories of 20 foot + specimens still being found on occasion in Northern India. I have been fortunate to work with these remarkable venomous reptiles in the past and all I can say is WOW! Of all the Poisonous Snakes I have worked with, these guys are the most impressive. King Cobras are not only extremely large, but they “Hood Out”, with their face 4-5 feet in the air. When a King Cobra strikes at you, your heart almost stops just from the loud hiss! One's body instantly produces adrenalin upon 1st glance at a towering, hooded King Cobra locking stares with you. They almost seem to mesmerize you with their swaying bodies, trance, and eyes (almost like a beautiful feminine woman). One thing for sure is, of all the poisonous snakes in captivity that I have worked with, the Cobras are by far the most intelligent. They almost seem to have “Problem Solving” capabilities.

The king cobra is considered the longest of the
poisonous snakes, reaching a maximum length of
18 feet or more. However, it is a very slender
snake. The heaviest is probably the bushmaster,
which is the largest of the viperine snakes. It is
a much thicker bodied snake than the king cobra,
and reaches a maximum length of about 12 feet.

Venomous snakes are venomous not poisonous. They are poisonous only if you eat them.
"Venom" is a general term for the toxins used by several groups of animal species, for the purpose of defense and hunting prey. Most widely known are snakes, some species of which inject venom into their prey through hollow fangs, spiders, which also inject venom through "fangs", and stinging insects, which inject venom with a sting. Wasps and bees illustrate the two divisions in the definition above.
In the context of biology, poisons are substances that cause injury, illness, or death to organisms, usually by chemical reaction or other activity on the molecular scale. Some poisons are also toxins, usually referring to naturally produced substances that kill rapidly in small quantities, such as the bacterial proteins that cause tetanus and botulism.
