Defanged Cobra???

[Jim Smith]

I will freely admit that I do not handle hots, other than a couple of wild caught copperheads number of years ago. That said, my biggest concern with how he's handling the snake is when he's looking at the audience through the glass and not paying attention to the venomous snake that he has gripped 2+ feet behind the head. My understanding is that Cobras are smart snakes, especially King Cobras and taking your eyes off of the venomous snake your handling even for a second is a great way to get bitten. Just one person's opinion.
