47 out of 50...

I got 16, 17 and 19 wrong.

16 and 17 are tricky because without the markings on the back of the head it's a bit of a guess (as that gives away most cobras).
19 I shit the bed without looking closely enough.

The key is knowing:
a) what are genus and what are actual snakes.
b) the hallmarks that differentiate Adders, Vipers, Cobras, and Elapidaes.
c) that not all cobras display a wide neck (only when threatened), but the position their eyes are set gives them away.
