This isn`t a cobra it`s a south african snake called rinkhals...it looks something simaler,but,it isn`t a cobra.

[JHBJHBJHBJHBJHBJHB1]

The snake is thinking: Is it clear to go??

[TheDevineBeing]

@zososierp Well it was well known that he was a kinky perv, who got off on some freaky shit ;).

[zososierp]

Steve Irwin finger banged snakes.

@szeunit

THAT MADE ME LAUGH SO HARD, GOOD JOB. LOL!!!!!!

@Heyitsstu Venom in the mouth is harmless unless you have a bleeding wound. Venom is a type of saliva, after all.

[HDGodStyle]

@Heyitsstu All he needs to do is say "crikey" and i'll be pleased

Haters gonna hate. Not as bad as a kid sat with a magnifying glass burning insects.

Also, I lol at the people saying Steve Irwin was killed by a manta ray. Manta rays don't have stings. Sting rays do. That is why they are called sting rays. /derp.

You think this is "toturing the snake", then go watch how most snake hunters hold venemous species just by the head. That is torture. At least this guy is picking it up by the jaws and slinging it around without supporting the full body.
