毒蛇 (dokuja, dokuhebi): a cobra, an iconic and well-known venomous snake.

From Middle Chinese compound 毒蛇 (MC dowk zyae, literally “poison + snake”). Compare modern Mandarin reading dúshé, Cantonese duk⁶ se⁴.

毒(どく)蛇(じゃ) • (dokuja)

Apparent shift from dokuja above, to use the kun'yomi of hebi for the second character.

毒(どく)蛇(へび) • (dokuhebi)
