The cobra might not strike him, but those Disney Corporation lawyers will sue his ass into oblivion for using the "Aladdin" soundtrack.
Anyway, the cobra is about to shed. With the scales covering its eyes clouded over, it's just about blind. In that state, it won't strike at anything more than a few inches from its nose.
God doesn't like charlatans and deceivers, Chad. Remember that.
Not to mention highly trained. The spectacled cobras that aren't de-fanged are trained by taunting them with a stick so they learn that biting only causes them pain. They'll strike, but not bite.
Just once, I'd like to see if a snakehandler's faith is strong enough for them to fuck with a black mamba or a krait. They wouldn't dare.. they're crazy, not suicidal.
