how fast do cobras move
Best Answer: A King Cobra can strike at 3 meters per second, this does not mean it can bite you at 10 feet away, it means it would take just 1 second to cover this distance. The Black Mamba can move at speeds up to 23 km/h and are second only to the King Cobra on length as a venomous snake.his is one reason why a mongoose can kill a cobra, it is faster moving. I doubt that a mongoose could cope with a rattlesnake. As for traveling distance, almost all snakes are rather slow. They seem to move faster than they really do.
