An albino version of the
Monocled Cobra,
which is also known as the albino Monocellate cobra, a variation of
the
cobra with the scientific name Naja kaouthia.
In Thai it is known as
ngu hao
pheuak, which confusingly is
also the term used for
leucistic Monocled Cobras (fig.).
The term monocle
refers to the
single, pale,
oval spot with a
dark center,
just behind its
hood. It
typically has
red eyes.
