Reactions to the clip showcased a wide range of emotions. One viewer commented, “Incredible! Such a rare moment of trust between man and snake.” Another expressed admiration, saying, “This is so beautiful, but I wouldn’t dare try it!”

However, not all responses were positive, as some users voiced their concerns. One user warned, “That baby cobra might look harmless, but it’s still dangerous. Be careful!” Another skeptical viewer said, “This might be staged, but it’s still risky behavior.”

This isn't the first instance of cobras captivating internet users. In an earlier viral video, a man was shown holding a king cobra egg as a small snake emerged from it. The sight of the newborn flicking its tongue while struggling out of the shell fascinated viewers, combining elements of fear and intrigue.
