Bali’s King Cobras annually nest in the far West. Female King Cobras are remarkable for being the only snakes that construct nests. They use their bodies to gather leaf material at the base of bamboo clumps, particularly Bamboo Tali (Gigantochloa apus) or Bamboo Petung (Dendrocalamus asper).


During mating and nesting seasons, farmers frequently come into contact with King Cobras, which can lead to nest destruction of these majestic Kings.
Our Bali conservation camp supports Bali Reptile Rescue, an organization that conducts rescue and relocation operations for King Cobras. They gather scientific field data, including humidity, temperature, nest depth, and circumference, for each nest.
