Behind Every Good Catcher Is A Mom Trying To Take A Photo Shirt! How Sunlight Liquid saved a spitter! Last week I went to a home in Springfield, to remove a young Mozambique Spitting Cobra out of a drain pipe. I bent down to look at the trapped snake, with my visor protecting my face, but it didn’t spit at me, even though my head was so close to it. Strange, I thought. I pulled the snake out, and my heart sank. It appeared to be dead, until I saw a very feint bit of movement. My anger levels rised! What did you do to it? I asked, as calmly as I could.
