A black cobra
One day I went to the zoo and one of the obligatory points of the visit was the serpentarium, an area dedicated exclusively to snakes, from the first moment the guide was in charge of the tour and that each visitor complied with the established requirement, such as not touching the cages, not disturbing the snakes, each animal had its identification and characteristics at the top of the cage, the guide talked about the process of obtaining the antiophidic serum for treatment in case of snake bites.
Some snakes could be observed because they were visible in their habitat, some were striking for their color and size and they were classified as venomous and non-venomous.
One snake that caught my attention was the black cobra, despite being coiled in a blue cup that seemed small for the snake, its shiny black skin with each scale placed perfectly, was its main attraction. The snake was as relaxed as possible, waiting for the best moment to strike.
When I left the guided tour I was on edge, they couldn't even touch me because I was thinking about the snakes all at once. 🐍

Una cobra negra
Un día fui a el parque zoológico y uno de los puntos obligados de la visita era el serpentario, área dedicada exclusivamente a las serpientes, desde el primer momento el guía se encargaba del recorrido y de que cada visitante cumpliera con el requisito establecido, como no tocar las jaulas, no molestar las serpientes, cada animal tenía su identificación y características en la parte superior de la jaula, el guía hablaba del proceso de obtención del suero antiofídico para el tratamiento en caso de mordeduras de serpientes.
Algunas serpientes se podían observar porque estaban visibles en su habitad, algunas eran llamativas por su color y tamaño ademas las tenían clasificadas por venenosas y no venenosas.
Una serpiente que me llamó la atención fue la cobra negra, a pesar de estar enrollada en una taza de color azul que parecía pequeña para la culebra, su piel de un negro brillante con cada escama colocada a la perfección, era su mayor atractivo. Dicha serpiente se encontraba lo mas relajada esperando el mejor momento para atacar.
Al salir de la visita guiada quedé con los nervios de punta, no me podían ni tocar porque de una vez pensaba en las culebras. 🐍
