Is it accurate to say the following:



there is a type of snake called "The Cobra snakes", and those snakes .....etc.



In other words, when saying "type of snake" it sounds like you're describing something singular, but is it ok to demonstrate the type as a plural?; like when I said "called "The Cobra snakes", and those snakes .....etc."
