No, they have fangs and can bite. some species can spit their venom which is sort of a projectile weapon like a water gun, the venom is deadly and if it gets in the eyes, can cause total blindness of the eye involved. another reason to wear shades in the jungle.

The spitting Cobra does so as a defence mechanism to enable it to escape from danger.

If it is cornered, or antagonised enough it will rais itself up to a considerable height, and aim a stream of venom at the intruders eyes. The venom is designed to cause temporary blindness, so the snake can slither away to safety.
