PhilippineCobra(Snake)Show after Dinner at Tarlac Medical/Surgical Mission,Jan.28,2010

[Serpentinemorphs]

This guy is a joke...flicking the snakes and stepping on then stresses them out which makes them aggressive...this guy is a clown I agree and NOT a real handler....Look at how people like Luke Yeoman handle their snakes...maybe a bite someday he'll get the point...

[maturerobuk]

this guy is a clown! I have watched snake shows in Thailand where the cobras are treated with respect.. He would last 2 minutes against a cobra with teeth!

[Pickle978]

someones gotta tell that guy to stop stepping on that snakes tail! I bet that hurts like crazy!

[MrsOrganicGardener]

These "Snake Men" actually milk the cobra, then take out the fangs. They wouldn't be as brave harassing the snake if the snake has fangs...notice the snake is opening its mouth, the tonque removed. The snake cannot see or hear well, and all it is doing is reflex defense. Cobras are sold to Chinese for about P200 a kilo for "medicinal" food..for those who love animals, and respect snakes as part of the ecosystem..this is abuse and cruel treatment!!!!

[MrJackjackjackie]

I wonder if the venom glands have been removed on these ones?

[jenazi]

if u r bitten by the Philippine cobra just 20 minutes and u r a dead meat

[ateestela]

@jenazi I really don't know!

[akosimj02]

@jenazi did you get bitten

[Manjo1981]

must report animal abuse

[mrckLarry19]

@Manjo1981 how about on cases wherein people get bitten by cobras...REPORT PEOPLE ABUSE (by cobras).

[geminiphil62]

wala na pangil yan kaya nagagawa mung batukan

[mrckLarry19]

@geminiphil62 any snake catcher can do that, fang or no fang, cobras are slow and poor sighted.

[MrAkihiros]

@mrckLarry19 Hi mrcklarry. I'm interested in purchasing a large philippine cobra

for the purpose of having it stuffed and then displayed in my house. You have any idea how much and where I can buy one?

[mrckLarry19]

@MrAkihiros ...this is Concepcion,Tarlac, Philippines,one and a half hour drive north of Manila. Please contact +639062608849, can not publish price,but its not expensive.

[nibiru250]

There are certain things you can get away with when handling a cobra (due to their limited forward striking capabilities). You would not want to try that sort of handling with other elapides, like Mambas or Australian snakes.

[yobro250]

@nibiru250 And vipers to!!!! Kraits at night can be a nightmare aswell through during the day they are very sluggish and easy to handle.

[wizards1971]

Philippine Cobra is more 100x deadlier than regular king cobra of thailand!

[kptoy]

@wizards1971 lol if you said "cobra in thailand" i would have agreed. but "regular king cobra" is an overstatement as a comparison. King cobra can kill a full adult human being for as quick as 15 mins of average whereas "cobras" could make you last couple of hours approx.

[hatesonion]

that guy is nuts
