Naja n. karachiensis is no longer a valid taxon, they have been proven by DNA sampling to be genetically identical to Naja naja. Just a color variation of the Pakistani locale. Attached is a helpful link concerning Drew. the venom composition of N. naja and MANY venomous snakes. Check it out! http://www.toxinology.com/fusebox.cfm?fuseaction=main.snakes.display&id=SN0041

Sorry, I thought the link would be "clickable". Has to be cut & pasted, but worth the effort. Drew.

Black Paks are no joke when it comes to venom. It's rapid acting, lethal in as little as 30 minutes. A friend was bitten last year and was down for the count by the time the medics showed up. Antivenoms are mostly ineffective since they are not specific for this clan of N. naja My friend survived but lost his index finger because of necrosis.
