I heard one of the talking heads speaking about this video, yesterday. He said that the Cobra's mouth was taped (I think) closed, though I cannot see anything holding its mouth closed. Maybe it is actually stitched closed. Still distirbing though. Sounds like a bunch of Rednecks putting a declawed cat in a box with a vicious Pit Bull, whose mouth is duck-taped closed.
You can clearly see the snakes tongue come out at the end of the video. Definitely not a stitched or closed mouth. Hopefully, as YouTube viewers commented, the snake is defanged.
If this is the beginning of that child's "parental guidance" filled life I shudder to think what's to come.
