There are spitting cobras and king cobras, but there aren't any spitting king cobras. Their scientific names are Ophiophagus Hannah (the king cobra), and there are at least 6 species of spitting cobras. These are Naja nigricollis, Naja siamensis, Naja pallida, Naja nubiae, Naja mossambica, and Naja ashei. King cobras and spitting cobras belong to separate genera (the king cobra is from the Ophiophagus genus and spitting cobras are from the Naja genus), but they both belong to the Elapidae family of snakes. The Elapidae family belongs to the Alethinophidia infraorder, the

Serpentes suborder, the Squamata order, and the class Reptilia.
