The primary structure of three hemoglobin chains from the indigo snake (Drymarchon corais erebennus, Serpentes): First evidence for αD chains and two β chain types in snakes [PDF]

, 2002
The hemoglobin of the indigo snake (Drymarchon corais erebennus, Colubrinae) consists of two components, HbA and HbD, in the ratio of 1:1. They differ in both their alpha and beta chains.

Partial sequence of hemoglobin from cobra (Naja naja naja)

Bioscience Reports, 1987
Hemoglobin from the cobra snake, Naja naja naja, was isolated and its chains separated on a CM-cellulose column. The separation profile revealed an α and two β chains having the molar proportions of [α]2,[β1]1,[β2]1. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of the intact chains and of the CNBr peptides were carried out.
