@@jimmason8502 Sorry but that, along with any other snake hatred, is just fucking retarded. Snakes are extremely important to the ecosystem, unlike you, and killing them literally harms the planet. As for people dying to their bites, that's just a part of nature. Grow the hell up and deal with it princess. If being "a killer" is a reason to be killed, then point that 12 gauge at yourself. By your logic of all the animals on the planet most deserving of death, humans are right at the bloody top. Humanity contributes nothing to the environment, instead is actively dangerous to it, and the majority of them do nothing other than eat, sleep and shit. You wanna talk about "no reason to have them around." take a long hard look in the mirror. Oh and guess what, that death toll in India is due to human's lack of medical standards and superstition.

Hi Chris, I luv snakes & try my best to have them rescued whenever possible. Residing in a mega densely populated city of Mumbai, there are cases of snakes making their way into human habitats. But yes, I luv the "super" king the most. Yet to see a more intoxicatingly beautiful snake like the King! I feel their eyes are the most mesmerizing part of their body apart from their magnificent hood. So much so that I've been told that their hooded eyes are what the designers of BMW have incorporated on their car's headlamps! Anyways, it's not only commendable but also risking your life to give us a super close up of Oracle. The King is really an elusive baby. It's difficult to find them at the forests too. Been with a few wildlife officials to get a glimpse but have been unlucky so far! Best of luck with your show. Take care & luv to Oracle..

Progressive Demagogue I liked everything you said except your last clause. The claim that king cobras will be persisting long after humanity fades is completely inaccurate.
