Naja nigricincta is an oviparous venomous spitting cobra with dark brown to black body and zebra-like vertical whitish or light yellow stripes along the dorsal side.
These stripes are generally evenly spaced and can be complete or fragmented.
The ventral scales range from white to orange in color.
In juvenile snakes the overall coloration is lighter than in the adults.

Like all other Naja species, this snake can flatten head and neck into a hood.
The head and hood are uniformly dark brown or black.

The venom of Naja nigricincta can cause massive hemorrhaging, necrosis and paralysis in bite victims.
These snakes can also spit their venom, hitting their enemies with great accuracy and causing temporary or permanent blindness.
