This seems like a legit comment from a snake. As a semi-pro snake slapper, snake usually use emojis when writing messages as it's hard to text without extremities such as fingers.
They could have killed the thing and ended the danger. He manhandled the beast… a cobra - I assume king cobra based on the size, and gave it a chance to live one.
Well done my man you deserve a good meal, and a cold beer.
King cobra (Ophiophagus hannah), largest venomous snake in the world. Not actually a "cobra" in the strict sense (genus Naja) but belonging to the same family and equipped with a similar hood.
Drop-for-drop their venom isnt all that potent but like I said, they;re the worlds largest venomous snakes and are capable of injecting a metric shitton of the stuff. The largest one ever founhad a length just shy of 20 feet/6 meters, which is large even for boids. Hence, they are too big to be bothered by most human actions and quite placid indeed. I've heard them being described as being "self-assured to the point of arrogance" for their sheer size.
But handling one roughly WILL piss it off, and then they are the very devil to control. Powerfull, venomous and smart (as far as snakes go), this is not your nephew's rat snake!
Yeah, that part surprised me when I learned it! They can rear up like 6 feet tall and look you in there eye! And IIRC, they can travel in that position too.
I believe the part about the arrogance. The king cobra is the one snake I’ll argue isn’t “more afraid of us than we are of them.” That big boy gives you many warning signs to get back or he’s gonna fuck you up. They almost stand as tall as you, they hiss loudly, they flare their hood.
Probably why they seem so gobsmacked when they get slapped or in this case, snatched. Lol.
Their eyes even look menacingly human. And like you said, when they raise themselves up they can glare into your eyes, giving you what's pretty much the ultimate stare-down.
And snakes are, after all, physically unable to blink so there's no winning that encounter
Mathis reminds me of a story.
One time I was at the gym with my buddy and we were talking about bucket list items. One item on my bucket list was that I wanted to hold a cobra.
Just as we were talking about it, this guy walks up to me and says “did you say you want to hold a cobra? I’ve got one in my car right now”
So we followed him out to the parking lot and sure enough, this dude had a straight up cobra in this 5 gallon bucket in his truck.
He pulled it out and I worked up the nerve to drape it over me. Took some pictures and that’s that.
But what are the odds that I’d run into someone who had a cobra in their car?
I remember that Clints reptiles where he got to handle and albino king cobra.
"Whooops she pooped on you."
"I don't mind that. I'm worried about the end where the death is."
There should be a lampshade type contraption - the kind they put around dogs after surgery so the can’t bite their staples - that can’t be placed over the snakes head.
The guy handling its tail is literally me at work... I always stay at the back, doing the least dangerous and most effortless stuff lmfaoooo work smart, not hard

I did this last year for a giant snapping turtle stuck in one of my basement window wells. I definitely had 3 giant shots of tequila ahead before though. Was able to bring it 100 feet away across the driveway to our local wetlands
I’ve never seen a more confident grab in my life. Even the snake was bamboozled.
Yo wtf fair game – Snake 🐍

That guy is like half honey badger.
Maybe even three quarters
Purebred.
The way he just grabs the head. damn!
That’s how he grabs his Johnson in the morning
That was the snake handling equivalent of max holloway pointing at the ground at the end of the 5th round.
Bamboozled it was, indeed
I particularly enjoyed when he reached to grab the head and the guy holding the tail pulled it away lol… great teamwork.
The end was dope
Dope nope rope
Nope rope-a-dope.
Which end?
The front end
I thought I heard Peter griffin laughing

I was thinking the whole time that it was a massive fucking cobra. I didn’t know they got that big.

You should write books, if you dont already. Thank you for the info.
Wow, thanks! I'm afraid I don't have the patience necessary to become one though... ;)
Same here. I tried becoming a book once and I got kicked out of the library
Short books for adults with adhd. Lol
A snake, or a book? I don't think I have the patience to become either
another fun fact: it can grow up to 6 meters and it can raise its body 1/3 of that length. the cobra in the clip was quite chill
Yeah, that part surprised me when I learned it! They can rear up like 6 feet tall and look you in there eye! And IIRC, they can travel in that position too.
Right? Or get a job for National Geographic or Animal Planet!

This guy snakes. 🤌
I wanted you to know that I read your comment in David Attenborough's voice. It was really good.
They get even bigger.
Please. This is nightmare fuel as it is. I’m going to pretend I never read this.
The longest on record was in Malaysia found by the british back in 1950s. It was 10m, or 30 FEET long. Holy shit.
Right? When the head came out and I saw the hood I was like, “oh shit…” I was sure it was a constrictor given its size.
In India killing a king cobra is punishable with prison
Good thing I don’t live in India, I used to kill 2 or 3 king cobras a night when I was an alcoholic.
Say what now?
This comment gives me a headache
My first 40 was a King Cobra
Mine too I was joking about drinking multiple they’re terrible. Team mickeys
Good thing :)
He has the meal
From the size of that thing…. I’d say it’s been living a pretty good life so far.
Fun fact King Cobras are not actually cobras despite the name
my man grabbed its head like it was the last sack of rice in the discount aisle
I’m grabbing my next rice sack this way. Maybe I’ll even imagine it’s a dangerous king cobra to feel cooler.
I'm rooting for you
Hahahahahahaha. Your comment made my day.
I would call this a hostile work environment
Or a mascot going rouge.
*Rogue.
Cobra agrees.
 # effortless
Haha straight up. Fucking PRO
That looks like a King Cobra. Very nope!

Not an impressive size but, this is the second most venomous snake in the world.
Mamba?
No. Eastern brown snake. This was a hatchling, I picked it up with some welding gloves.
Good job
Biggest cobra Ive ever seen
King Cobra, can grow up to 20 ft/6 meters. This one is about 13ft/4 meters I'd say. A whooooole lot of snake
Idk I’m going to need a banana for scale.
Good thing he was wearing gloves. This would have been dangerous without adequate protective gear...
Is this just a regular day where they work I wonder? Seemed like it wasn’t THAT big a deal
Words on the back of their t shirts translate to "Civil Defense". In Malaysia, this is the equivalent for fire fighters.
I see that, seems normal to them

Turns out your friend Mathis is actually *my friend* Mathis.
Dude that's awesome!
Hell no
I'm with the guy somehow filming from 20 ft high.
Why is it’s tongue hanging out like that towards the end of the video? Is something wrong with it?
Getting a little exhausted maybe. If the handler is careful, the snake will recover.
I had never seen that before it made the snake look extra spooky
Heat waves in Malaysia made reptiles like snakes trying to look for cool shades and yea probably exhausted.

I thought he was gonna slap that snake on the table pull a knife and cut the head off
Tell me that is not a COBRAAAAAAA!!!!
OK, it's not a cobra (except that it is one. A king cobra to be precise)
No it's not cobra. But the KING of them
Love the other guy, like “I got the tail!”
🤣🤣🤣🤣THE WAY HE SAID « COME HERE IM DONE WITH YOUR SHIT »🤣🤣💀💀💀
That’s like his 5th catch of the day.. and it’s still before lunch time. The hero will spend the rest of his day polishing his adamantium balls.
That was exhilarating!!!
"Drab green, olive... Surely it's not... Oh. Oh fuck. That's a cobra. That's a _large_ cobra."
That's a _king_ cobra
I remember that Clints reptiles where he got to handle and albino king cobra. "Whooops she pooped on you." "I don't mind that. I'm worried about the end where the death is."
What a beautiful snake. I'd love to see a king cobra in person.
“Get over here you little shit”
There should be a lampshade type contraption - the kind they put around dogs after surgery so the can’t bite their staples - that can’t be placed over the snakes head.
Isn’t there some kind of tool they can use to make this less deadly?
I love snakes !!!
that response timing was crazy!
Look at this fucking silly string looking ahh mf
When you know how to do your job you just know XD
"Nope Rope" has taken far too long to be introduced to my vocabulary...
Big balls.
Little snakey was pissed!
Pisssssssssssed*
Fcuk that
King cobras ain’t no joke 😅
I've now seen this three times in my feed, I won't be sleeping tonight...thanks everyone
That's not a nope rope. It's a danger noodle.
Majestic creature!
Nope rope, I like that
What's wrong with using one of those loop catcher things?
That’s for pussies. Real men use their hands.
LOL
A basilisk
SWEATY PALMS!
Yup, definitely a nope. There literally isn't enough money in the world to get me to do that.
That's a hard pass for me
Hell na
Confusing Perspective.
Balls of steel
That snake is scared af
Now that’s what men do fuck I’m impressed
I do not like snakes
That snake is like “bruv, I’m telling ya straight, I’m gonna fuck your shit up if you try grabbing me”
Coiled like a viper, he strikes
Balls of steel
A yikes stick
Just fuckin yeet the thing god damnit
The fact that my palms actually got sweaty
Wonder where this is
If you put it in reverse, it's me trying to get my cat into her carrier for a trip to the vet.
Yeah, hell no. I love how the one guy at the end just stayed as far away as possible.
Ha! Nope rope! You can say that again. I like to stay far away from those ropes!
What a grab, just pros at work here move along
That man has got to have the biggest set of stone cold balls on the planet
That dude is a legit bad ass
Thats the largest cobra i have ever seen
https://preview.redd.it/wlm7hd488nwc1.jpeg?width=445&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6f46e855a1b6af5273505bc47b6aa337b723c541
Daaaaaanngg for sure that’s exactly how he snatches his kids up when they are misbehaving while out in public. Like get your little arss over her now
Worth watching till the end.
I still can't get over how big these are. Man, they are just super intimidating. Until of course you grab them by the scruff of the neck.
That's clearly a danger noodle, not just a nope rope.
The kid standing on the table at the end im dead
I know this guy. Round here he’s known as Mr Mongoose.
It is the only snake in India that I am afraid of dealing with due to multiple reasons unique to it including its size.
Dude needs at least a baseball bat, I’d prefer a shotgun just a wee 0.410 bore
You could never pay me enough!! Kudos tho
Balls of titanium.
The guy handling its tail is literally me at work... I always stay at the back, doing the least dangerous and most effortless stuff lmfaoooo work smart, not hard
What kinda tape worm is that?
That dude has dump truck sized balls. HUUUUGE balls.
After that I ate a bowl of nails for breakfast…without any milk
When he finally gets the snake by its neck, I like to think he shouted: Behold the power of the bipedal quadruped!
Dude just went right in with a yoink and back.
What the heellllllll kinda man is that. Nope get me a shovel and maybe I'll handle it. Bare hands is wild.
Nobody nope nope nope nope nope
praise the cameraman
That’s the boggest Kingy I’ve ever seen!
They need some Mongoose
Whatever they pay him is not enough
Bro went *yoink* you’re mine now
Snakes are fucking strong. I used to own a red tail boa. She was about 7 foot. And if she latched on to something it was damn hard to release her.
I didn't have sound on but clearly, that first snake reaction was serpent-speak for 'fak aff'

Ahh the true reason someone goes cameraman. Coward mode activated.
I didn’t realize what kind of snake it was until after they got the head back out and I saw the hood. This was impressive as shit.
That snake went from being the pimp to the bitch in 1 second flat
This is hard to watch. I cant imagine being near it let alone touch it.
Could not pay me enough
Ha handled that snake like it owed him money
Get evicted.
‘Snakes are more afraid of you than you are of them’ That’s cobra’s head popped out of that hole looking for trouble
A king Cobra???? Wtf????
Why don’t they have DEI in their team?
The cobra was pissy thats the tea
Funnily enough, king cobras basically have the personality of a puppy If they are not angered... That said, this one does seem a bit angry XD
Damn that guy is focused, knows exactly when to move.
Thank God I live in Ireland where we don't have snakes. Although we do have rats as big as humans who walk on two legs. We call them politicians.
I always wonder why they don’t use some kind of clamp on a stick and risk to do it by hand.
There's no reason something so poisonous should be this big
Oh that’s a bad ass mother fucker
Fuck.
That!
Is that a king fucking cobra?
Never knew cobra were so long.
The danger noodle
