Baby "plays" with Cobra.

[buttercup132]

This babies parents put her with a Cobra. Taped it. And they were laughing when ever the Cobra went to attack. Apparently one of two things was done, the fangs were removed (causing the snake to eventually starve) or they sewed the mouth shut obviously very painful and again starving the snake. This is just what I read on the comments so I don't know which one is true.

But still the snake could have killed the baby they are still strong and can choke it. And to teach your kid to play with cobras!!?! Wth is wrong with people!?

OMG!!.......... poor baby!!.... even if he was not bitten he surely had no clue what was going on........ (hey, why is this "toy" bonking me?)

and poor cobra, I bet she was scared by a weird crawling thing trying to get her........and not being able to defend herself.........

and that just proves we have our dose of sickos in this planet, might be a different culture, but I can´t think of a mother exposing her child to that, danger or not.......... and that snake is no constrictor, but could easily had choked that kid..........

I saw that in the paper the other day.

Some people are messed in the head. I wonder if they did it so they could sell the tape to make money?

I saw this too, How the hell do they get away with it? a real loving mother wouldnt put that kind of crap on a child.

It's a VERY common practice for parents to have their children play with these snakes as it teaches them from an early age not to be afraid of them, since there are so many around their parts. Honestly I'd be more concerned the little girl was crawling around with no bottoms on! As far as starving, just because you have the pits and fangs removed does not mean the animal starves. This is a common practice as well with many herp keepers. I've held a black cobra (not sure exactly what kind) with fangs intact, and he was the sweetest snake ever. The lady who owned him also had many other venemous snakes, but with most of their fangs/pits removed. I assure you they are all fine and eat on a regular basis. The only way he can starve is if his mouth was sewn shut, and we have no idea if it was. I feel a lot worse for the snake, not knowing why there is a child tugging at him, but he doesn't seem to mind too much. As far as strangulation, this may be a slight possibility, but it's not a constrictor. Chances are slim. The child shows no fear, and honestly has no idea her "toy" is a snake.

This isn't the only tape like this out there. There are many many others. This tape is also on You Tube, along with many similar videos.

Here is some info on venomoids.

A snake that is not a constrictor is not suddenly going to become a constrictor because its strikes are ineffective, so this is false.

Ok just saw the video what are parents thinking and what the hell are people posting this kinda stuff on myspace for? I am completely appalled by this and feel that both the child and the snake are suffering. It seems like this is shot in India where kissing a person in public is a sex offence but letting a baby play with a Cobra - NORMAL - that country really has their priorities screwed up!!!!
