SRI LANKA | TERRIFIED In The Snake Farm 🇱🇰

There is one thing not secret about me is that I am very scared of crawling animals and snakes are on top of that list. While being in Sri Lanka I wanted to get more comfortable with the fact we are living on the same island and probably they are a few meters away from me most of the time.
There is a term called "exposure therapy" when you expose yourself to the things you are scared of to overcome that fear and to be more comfortable with it. I learned about this snake farm in Sri Lanka and rented a scooter and just went for it. No surprise I was terrified of the fact being on the farm itself before I even saw the snakes.
Seeing cobras up close and also being able to touch phyton was a great experience. I cannot say I love snakes now but definitely learned a lot. This type of farm experience costs you only $5. And, those animals are not there just for a business. Normally they are rescued from people's houses and been taken care of on the farm and later released to nature.
Would you do the same? 🇱🇰

I know snakes can be scary af but big ups for this man in protecting them and not just one species

[@harshanikarunathilake5189]

This is the first horror video that made me laugh 😄 Beauty + Scary = Snakes (King Cobras are true work of art )

[@rukisvlog-nissankarukshan6325]

It’s the first time I have seen a snake farm In Sri Lanka 🇱🇰

[@benjismith593]

Davud you did great handling those snakes! My daughters had me buy a Ball Python for their birthday. We absolutely love her to pieces. You getting to see cobras up close like that is actually something many will never experience. Even us that love snakes. I hope you found a new respect for snakes, and that they will leave you alone if you leave them alone.

[@AMR-eg5fp]

I love snakes! Amazing vlog! Davud faced his fears really well. 😎

[@romellojayathilake3419]

Wow, 1500 is extremely reasonable. People in Colombo usually scam people for like 2k per photo

this is the best episode brow..really enjoy it..❤️🤟

[@abdulrahman-rx2zf]

I should admit it.. i'm a sri lankan..And this is the first time that i'm seeing cobras this much closer..😂😂😂 OMG thanks davud.. was a whole new experience for you..✌

I'm proud of my country 🙏 God bless you brother 🙏 welcome to Sri Lanka, thankful brother.( In Cyprus )

[@udraj914]

As a Sri Lankan, i have respect for Cobras. They are such majestic beasts. But I would never get that close to a one. Also, poisonous or not, I cant hold them in my hand. I am satisfied with admiring them from afar. Also, those cobras are HUGE

[@user-uu7sk8bz5l]

Thank you very much for comming to my country and you are always welcome 💓💓💓

[@carloaustria1]

Thats so funny Davud, when the cobra looks at you , you get all panicky. Boas and pythons are really nice, I used to own a boa myself and she was so sweet.

[@aaryansetia9093]

[@manowerapitiya1471]

Davud, Breathtaking video of the snake farm and 'Exposure Therapy'. I had goose bumps on my arms all the time. Beautiful creatures but unpredictable. The Cobra is beautiful. Vijay was a obliging man and enjoys what he does. Vijaya was a king of Sri Lanka around 500 BC. This Vijaya is the King of the Snakes. Did you know that the Mongoose is the enemy of snakes. Mano.

Hi Good for you. I'm from Canada. By birth I'm a Sri Lankan. First is COBRA, second is PYTHON. To see more animals and snakes visit Sri Lankan Zoo in Dehiwela. When you go to Colombo don't miss the Zoo of Sri Lanka.

27:20 They have a powerful bite force & also can crush even a human being.

[@ranjeetkamble7646]

The lat one is spectacle cobra, by the mark on his head, cobras are very angry & highly venomous.... He was wrong when he said a person can survive for 8 hrs without treatment it's neurotoxic & action starts within 1/2 a hour.....

[@vasulasamarasinghe27]

Bro, I have a huge fear of snakes as well and I overcame them, for the most part, in Sri Lanka a number of years ago. You are a brave man, as well.

[@shrikanthhosur3380]

Good that you took a decision to face your fear 👌🏻👍🏻 Friendly suggestion: I am not sure, but if you aren't using a gimbal for goPro already, then investing in one will change the way you make videos for even better; they already are 🔥. As you seem to explore the world going forward, a gimbal will serve you to satisfaction. You may thank me later 😉

[@MrRez-ce3ez]

Can see davud lost his fear slowly slowly 😂

[@dudleyranawake6496]

Enjoy friend....

I am scared f them as well but looks like the therapy session has a positive effect. God contents again. Thanks.

[@stephaniebyrne7706]

I got over my fear bu watching KZbin video and realizing that even venomous snakes don’t want to bite. They want to get away and r really afraid of people.
