A ten-month-old baby is in hospital after being bitten by a Mozambican spitting cobra in North West.
The baby, a foster child living with a couple in Rustenburg, was bitten in his cot last week, according to Beeld newspaper.
Social worker Berdine Venter said it was suspected that the snake had fallen from the thatched roof onto the cot.
His foster mother heard him scream at 8.30pm and he was rushed to hospital.
A Mozambican spitting cobra was found on the carpet of the baby room.
The boy was removed from his biological parents when he was four months old and placed in the care of the Rustenburg couple.
