No. Snakes are usually patterned to match the colouration of their natural habitat.
Not all snakes lay eggs, but the ones that do excrete their eggs through an opening in the body called a cloaca. A cloaca is found in snakes as well as in birds, reptiles, amphibians, most fish, and certain mammals. It is the opening at the end of the digestive tract from which the intestinal, genital, and urinary outputs pass.

Who would win crocodile vs king cobra?
In such a contest, the chances are good that both animals would die. The tiger, being much quicker and more powerful, would easily be able to get the neck bite in the dragon, and end the fight quickly. But, if the dragon got a bite on the tiger before it was killed, the tiger would eventually die from septocemia, or blood poisoning, as the saliva of the komodo dragon teems with bacteria that can be lethal. One way the dragon hunts is to ambush a prey animal such as a deer, and if the deer does not die in the initial attack, the dragon simply follows the scent trail of the animal until it dies, sometimes days later. Tigers are certainly able to kill reptiles as large as Komodo dragons, as they have been known to kill mugger crocodiles as large as 12 feet long. As in nature most times, however, large predators tend to avoid each other, so a fight most likely would not take place.

Why are you spitting up red and brown stuff?
This is usually stomach acid. The greenish yellow is bile which comes from the liver. If you've been throwing up a lot or if there is no food in your stomach you're body will start emptying anything that's left. Which is the acid and bile. Eating some soda crackers will help protect your esophagus from damage from the acid. Hope this helps!

What is the king cobras habits and unique behavior?
It seems unfairly menacing that a snake that can literally "stand up" and look a full-grown person in the eye would also be among the most venomous on the planet, but that describes the famous king cobra.
King cobras can reach 18 feet (5.5 meters) in length, making them the longest of all venomous snakes. When confronted, they can raise up to one-third of their bodies straight off the ground and still move forward to attack. They will also flare out their iconic hoods and emit a bone-chilling hiss that sounds almost like a growling dog.
Their venom is not the most potent among venomous snakes, but the amount of neurotoxin they can deliver in a single bite-up to two-tenths of a fluid ounce (seven millilitres)-is enough to kill 20 people, or even an elephant. Fortunately, king cobras are shy and will avoid humans whenever possible, but they are fiercely aggressive when cornered.
King cobras live mainly in the rain forests and plains of India, southern China, and Southeast Asia, and their colouring can vary greatly from region to region. They are comfortable in the trees, on land, and in water, feeding mainly on other snakes, venomous and non-venomous. They will also eat lizards, eggs, and small mammals.
They are the only snakes in the world that build nests for their eggs, which they guard ferociously until the hatchlings emerge.
King cobras may be best known as the species of choice for the snake charmers of South Asia. Although cobras can hear, they are actually deaf to ambient noises, sensing ground vibrations instead. The charmer's flute entices the cobra by its shape and movement, not by the music it emits
