The video was shared a few days ago on Instagram, accompanied by the caption: “Would you kiss a 12ft KING COBRA?!”
Nick can be seen easily catching the snake with his left hand in the video. The snake, on the other hand, quickly turns around and attacks the cameraman. Fortunately, the distance between them keeps them safe.
Undeterred, Nick carefully leans in and places a kiss on the head of the cobra, showing his respect for the wonderful monster.
Nick regularly posts on Instagram about his encounters with various animals. One of his most recent encounters was with a small but extremely agile copperhead snake.
He explains in that video that the snake’s behavior is more defensive than aggressive. He emphasizes the dangers of copperhead snake bites, which can cause necrosis, hemorrhage, swelling, and even death due to the hemotoxin released by their venom.
The video quickly went viral, with more than 4.3 million views and more than 215,000 likes. Netizens were stunned and puzzled by Nick’s bravery, and shared his sentiments in the comment area. This is what people thought.

Nick Bishop, a self-proclaimed animal keeper and snake charmer, has posted many videos on his Instagram page of himself handling the poisonous reptile. In addition, due to the films that he broadcasts about his contacts with snakes and other reptiles, he has a considerable following on social networks.
Cobras are venomous snakes related to taipans, coral snakes and mambas, all members of the Elapidae family, according to the San Diego Zoo’s Wildlife Alliance.
Because snakes in this family cannot fold their fangs like vipers, their fangs are usually shorter. Its prey is killed by injecting venom through its fangs. The venom contains a neurotoxin that causes the victim’s breathing and heartbeat to stop. When a cobra feels threatened, it will attack a human. A cobra bite, like any other venomous snake bite, can be fatal if not treated properly.
However, kissing or attempting any form of close contact with a venomous cobra or snake is strongly discouraged. Please don’t be inspired by this to give it a try.
