Difference between cobra snake and viper snake?

Cobras are apart of the group Elapidae (elapids) which include other neurotoxic snakes such as Kraits and Coral Snakes. This group is separate from the other main group of venomous snakes, Viperidea (vipers), which include Rattlesnakes and Puff Adders. That being said, there are many differences between elapids and vipers. Elapids are generally long, slender snakes with small, fixed front fangs. Vipers on the other hand are usually stout-bodied with a triangular lance-like head that have long, hinged front fangs. Also, elapids possess neurotoxic venom while vipers have hemotoxic venom (in come cases a viper can have a blend of both as seen in Neo-tropical Rattlesnakes)

Neurotoxicology is the medical specialty that deals with the unwanted effects of chemicals on the nervous system. In the United States and Canada, most adults with serious neurotoxic disease are showing the side effects of either prescribed drugs, substance abuse or suicide attempts involving neurotoxic chemicals. People can also contract neurotoxic disease from biological poisons venoms, fish toxins, toxic plants and from occupational and environmental chemicals, but such illnesses are uncommon in North America.
