I thought Cobra’s were venomous? Am I missing something here, people (parents?) talking in the background thinking it was cute? Maybe it is time to buy a rattle?

Guessing they pulled the fangs – it’s all fun and games till they grow back. serious culture shock

Fangs and venom sacks are removed from the snakes in many cases. When not removed a snake charmer or owner stays out of bite range unless the snake is in control.
Might put out the kid’s eye though – those strikes are pretty quick ;o.

The fangs are removed. Yes, it’s trying to bite him repeatedly. All it can really do is gum him. …. ooooh scary.

Actually, they will usually sew the snake’s mouth shut. Less work than devenomization.
Its important to teach children respect and gain experience from as early on as possible – so there isn’t a horrible accident later.
I guess its kinda like nomadic people who put their toddlers on horses. Its a way of life.

@DancesWithCobras – if they sewed the snake’s mouth shut, it would starve to death. Wouldn’t that kind of put an end to the snake charmer’s livelihood??

Its hard to tell, but I think I would lean towards sewn mouth. At no point in the video to you see the cobras mouth open,it seems only to be whacking its head on the baby and snakes have more than 2 teeth, if it had struck, even de-fanged it would still hurt. It’s freaky to see, but i this case I don’t think the baby is in any danger.
