What the... Parents let baby play with cobra

[Caladan 19]

defanged or not... thats crazy to let a baby near a cobra... what if it thinks ALL cobras are ok to play with???

and on another note, much less important than the snake, but still odd... the kid is wearing a shirt but no diaper or pants?????

I think that's a regional thing. Not all cultures swaddle babies in layers of rubberware.

i just find it odd that if you are gonna cover only one half of your baby, you would opt to choose to put on a shirt rather than even a cloth diaper to cover the end that spews pee and poop... but then again, that might be one of the reasons why hepatitis A is a problem in other areas of the world

and ooooo... i never knew:

Myth:

Removal of fangs makes snakes harmless.

Reality:

This is not true as snakes constantly shed and re-grow their fangs.

The video is hilarious. I love how the cobra whacks the kid 3 or 4 times before he strangles it.

That kid is a natural born killer!

That made me nervous... better give him a ball or someting else to play with.

wait so Charles, cobra fangs grow back? Crazy...

yes. for example - i had a rattlesnake as a "pet" once in the mid 80's. she hit a mouse and the mouse took longer to die than normal, so after she ate the mouse, i caught her and examined her. turned out her fangs had stuck in the mouse when she struck. the next morning, about 10 hours later, i caught her and checked and she had new fangs.

most snakes have replacement sets of fangs. that's why i said defanging is a temporary measure. you can get the poison sack surgically removed but being poked by fangs is still irritating

I just saw this, or what little I could stomach, this morning. ####### What happens if that baby is out somewhere and sees a snake in the wild?!

I own 3 snakes, and a friend has a cobra with the poison sacks removed that I've held a few times. The cobra still likes to strike just like the one in the video and it scares the bejeezus out of me every time. That baby is braver than I am. I don't have kids, and if I do someday have a baby, I don't know if I'll keep my snakes. They are all non-venomous, but they are constrictors and that is just too scary to have around babies. Those parents are a bit crazy in my eyes, but to each his own...I suppose...
