38 seconds (about)

[Reptiman989]

Tank is way too small for an amazing animal like that.

[SuperPhotoshopgeek]

target poisoned . clear time to swallow

[kipperlug]

Its a bit of a shit snake, strong venom but a crap aim.

[WFOxSnakeEyes]

At 45 seconds made me think of the Training Day when Alonzo shoots Roger, looks at him waiting for him to die and says breath dawg, breath.

[DubStepEdition]

wow the venom really fucked that little nigger up didnt it, nice

[millionaire394c]

do u play flute and put on your turban to distract the snake in order to clean the tank??

[crumlinrules1]

its beside you stupid snake

[MindTrek00]

it was more interested in the rock!!

[Goat04]

Might be a stupid question, but here it goes: The mouse is injected with venom, and it clearly dies (or becomes completely paralyzed, or both) within thirty seconds. When the Cobra ate the mouse, it ingested it's own venom along with it. Why doesn't the venom harm the snake as well?

[Soulrider2012]

@Goat04 The venom kills the mouse because it enters the mouse's blood stream. When the snake eats the mouse, the venom doesn't enter the snakes blood stream so it doesn't harm the snake. That's the difference between venom and poison. Venom, has to be injected into the blood stream to do harm. Poison on the other hand, is consumed and causes harm that way. Although not advised & dangerous people have taken a drink of snake venom with no ill effects because again, it's a venom, not a poison.

[utubenoob78]

How come it trying to eat the rock instead of the mouse at the end?

[MegaSnorken]

is the snake blind?

[LXDNG]

@MegaSnorken only to things that don't move.

[RedVenol]

vai se fuder apenas isso seu lixoo veadoo!!!!

[chadley6916]

I do the same thing...but my cage is bigger. And it has a mongoose inside...but I don't feed it mice, he likes snakes! And where I live Cobra's are very easy to come by!

[MultiSkittles7]

Snake: What the fuck! Did that guy just disappear lol

[212kurd]

you have a lovely snake dude and he is strong !

[wyttale]

That snake was crazy aggressive!

[spedgren22]

@wyttale that snake was crazy hungry



[ishojtester]

lol this cobra looks very stupid indeed. Took him a very long time to realize that there is live bait behind him. If he didn't have the venom, he would have never caught the mouse.

[poontankk]

@ishojtester Thats how cobras work they bite and wait. They can take their time.. If it was a constrictor it would bite and not let go after the first strike.

[gazaromeojrb]

is that a fucking cobra, dude how did you get it?

[RIRITHEKING]

What happened to the mouse like it stops dead?

[badleatherlad]

@RIRITHEKING that's because it's dead

[irishibe1972]

you have a fricking cobra DDDDDDDDDAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNGGG­GGGG

[1980viracochas]

HOLY FUCK, you keep that thing? How in the hell do you clean its aquarium?

[AtarahDerek]

@1980viracochas Training. Anyone who keeps venomous reptiles should be trained to safely handle them, and if they keep exotics they should also keep the anti-venom that corresponds to that species. Because hospitals only carry the stuff for native species.

[Nikedass]

was that a spitting cobra, where do you get those!!!!!!!!!

[MrTarzan152]

Great video. I know the first bite was to inject the venom. What was the "sneezing" about? I didnt look like she was spitting after the first bite. Looked more like sneezing. Please enlighten me. Thanks.

[crumlinrocks]

Ohhhhhhhhhhh man my favourite snake in the whole world(Well it really would be a king cobra) but what cage would hold 1 of them? The only way to truely see this is on a high speed camera, I paused and played this constantly and the amount of thing that happens within 1 second...WOW this is why the Cobra is called KING! BRILLIANT!!!

[juellB1]

Omg that snake is fucking fast...

[Redfanta123]

How do you hold it?

[LXDNG]

@Redfanta123 you don't... at least not without a hook... and preferably far from the business end.

[dutzsnot]

0:25 = Dramatic naja look

[djbarcode5xyz]

How in God's name do you clean that tank?

[MPBADASS90]

@djbarcode5xyz its a brand new self cleaning tank!!! :)

[MrIceBrick]

seems like a pretty dinky ass cage for him; no room for him to stretch his underbelly lol

[nateDawg12346]

dude that is a beautiful snake! and nice set up too usually i hate it when someone makes a home made hide but the way you did it was so genious that i actually looked really awesome and store bought i love it!

[ExtreamThrills]

boom head shot, direct venom injection to the brain on the second strike.

[buddhachris0103]

thumbs up if you shared this to facebook!

[ZachariasLePuertre]

Oh, I'm so disappointed, now. In another of your vids I commented on the snake's seemingly keen "thought process" in looking for the mouse. He just totally shattered my illusions. ;-)

That's one sleek snake - at least it has looks if not so much brains. ;-)

[LXDNG]

@ZachariasLePuertre Never underestimate how smart a snake can be... they may seem a bit puzzled when sniffing around or their food... it's just that their eyes can only pick out movement. Once their prey dies and lies still, they have to flick around with their tongues to find out where it is. But I've seen this guy manipulate the mouse around the terrarium using the terrain as leverage just to be able to swallow it head first. Quite a feat without limbs... cheers

[LynZee88]

@ZachariasLePuertre Because that rodent is sooo much more intelligent. Try harder with the pseudo intellectualism bro. You look like an asshat right now.

[tier88]

ar you even aibel to hold that thing in your hands?

[LXDNG]

@tier88 well... it usually is customary to tail with a hook... and for this one, you'd be advised to wear goggles.

[X5H2o]

01:05 where the hell is my lunch?

[Quartz91]

Like the skull :D was that the last person who thought he could pet it? :)

[LXDNG]

@Quartz91 I hoped it was... lol

[kd35WINasONE]

that was a great video, ive never seen a cobra kill like that.. what kind is it?

[d94cheese]

POOR MOUSE. But its life and food for the snake.

[pikkefar]

Nice vid m8. Could you post the venom effects on a big pray like a rabbit?

[LXDNG]

@pikkefar no point in doing that since a rabbit won't fit down the hatch of any cobra.

[rrredzzz]

that is insane..

[SupraJulie]

Why do I find the way he'ss hissing at the mouse cute? It's like he's saying, 'Hey you! I bit you. Now you're supposed to lay down and die.'

[snakemast66]

@SupraJulie He shot him with venom and tackled not bit!

[thecancerofme]

Very twitchy guy you have there...

And he huffs and puffs at the mouse

Maybe he thinks if he acts all big like that the mouse would just surrender.

:P

[ifellonmyownpiss]

damn that cobras dumb eat it already u slow punk

[LXDNG]

... usually they would track down their prey wherever it may fall... still very cautious about it actually being dead... then without limbs they would have to negotiate the best way to swallow it head first. (which goes down easier)... checking the terrain and process how best to utilize it to gain the best leverage... pretty darn smart I think for creature known to possess only instinctual responses to perceptual stimuli... and if the prey is not moving ... they can't see it....LOL

[LXDNG]

... try eat a burger blind-folded with your hands tied behind your back... LOL

[cliffwalkinfool]

@LXDNG And something we easily forget, watching captive snakes at work: making sure you can tag it without somebody else stealing it, and making sure you can swallow it without being attacked by a predator. The same goes for digesting it, especially when the dinner is a large fraction of your own mass! Try dealing with a gang of thugs after consuming half your weight in raw, unchewed meat, bones, and fur. Snakes have my undiluted respect, that's for sure!

[UltimateJasper]

@LXDNG Really? Snakes can't see moving objects? I thought that was only the case with amphibians.

[LXDNG]

@UltimateJasper yep... they're vision is mainly based on vision... but they're sense of smell is super acute.

[UltimateJasper]

@ifellonmyownpiss Actually, snakes are quite smart. Just check out those studies done on Corn Snakes a couple of years back. They can navigate mazes as good as any lab rat.

[akamaster09]

it just died from the venom randomly

[LXDNG]

well it did eat it... but I had something else to do while that was happening.... :P

[snakemast66]

@akamaster09 no it didnt die of venom it got hit in the eyes and was blind because this is a SPITTIING cobra

[Alex89821]

tira o rato dai zé porra coitado do rato maluco kkkkkkkkkkk çeee doido moço

[dutzsnot]

WOW look at 0:25

Fast turn back hehehehe "I found you!"

[BonJoviFan96]

whoa

[emarob86]

serpente bastardo!!!

[jgs0001]

38 secs is alittle long. My monocled is more like five secs and it is alittle smaller than that one. Must not have gotten a good bite on it.

[LXDNG]

yea, well the venom potency varies to a significant degree. I've clocked 5 seconds for this snake too recently but on other days it can up to a minute... Regardless though pound for pound venom toxicity is ultimately adherent to the LD50 rating (lethal dose in 50% of subject/mass)

[adamjoetan]

Where do you get your snakes form?

[LXDNG]

Form? they were born like that.... tehe....

jk.... errr nowhere in particular. Me and some friends run a part-time snake removal service. Other times the aboriginal people here call us when they catch snakes... but they cook and eat them if we come to late

[cryogengames]

wow this makes my (still baby) snake look like pussy btw how do you clean this cobras tank?

[LXDNG]

I kinda coax him into the skull or hide... when he's in there, nothing will make him come out if there is commotion outside. But just to be sure, I use a hook to put the skull with him in a holding container.... Clean cage... reverse process

[robbieghilltop]

im so jealous this gota be my fav of all cobras maby even all snakes Naja sumatrana are just amazing jus dont get bit no good AV for these guys as im told be safe an post more if you can

[LXDNG]

Do tell... we don't have any AV at all here... so hopefully in the future I will be able to do something about... since no one else is up to it in Malaysia... someone told me the milking at Perlis snake farm is just for show

[LXDNG]

Oh... and personally my favorite is Naja melanoleuca

[vegakvd]

omg, that was so cruel. I feed my formosa cobra frozen.

[LXDNG]

actually I would too, but my wife won't let me put dead mice in the fridge... but recently I got him to eat defrosted chicken wings lol

[LXDNG]

Sorry dear... most of the times I pre-kill the mice by snapping its neck with my pliers. But how did your frozen mice die?

[LXDNG]

This was taken long ago... Its in a much bigger and taller tank now

[CryingARiver]

you need a bigger tank.

[chiconspiricy]

Was he actually spitting at the mouse?

[LXDNG]

No. Just puffing at a perceivable threat

[meimeite]

how can i get one of theseee... ?

[glev888]

my god that was pretty quick ! what kind of cobra...?

[LXDNG]

Equatorial Spitting Cobra (Naja sumatrana):)

[LXDNG]

I didn't buy him. He was given by a friend as a baby whose house it slithered into. He's grown heaps since then. I don't handle him. He hides in the skull I remove and secure the skull with him inside it for cleaning. But if I have to use a snake hook with extreme caution.

[christcody]

lol, the mouse scared the cobra...how does one go about buying a cobra...and handling them?
