Move over Patrick Bateman, I’ve found the world’s greatest b
wow i’ve seen alot on this site,
but that video is mental. they are just sat chillin’ and filming while the baby crawls around getting repeatedly striked by the cobra. i’m just like WTF!?!?
The snake’s mouths are sewn shut. The kids are in no danger although it’s still a pretty bad thing to do to your kid.
I have heard of a father in India, who followed some weird Hinu ritual where he sacrificed his infant daughter to bless the new house they built. The ritual required burying the baby alive into the foundation as it was being poured.
GULLABLE!!!

[...] This is crazy. I knew that there was a lot of crazy things going on in India, but I never expected to see toddlers charming cobras. There’s more pics and a video over at The Chive. [...]
That is absolutely disgusting
Exactally how is this child abuse? The snakes have obviously been fixed so that no one is getting hurt.
Teaching a child to charm a snake is just like teaching a child on a farm how to work on said farm. For those of you that are going to say it’s not the same thing I’ve lived on a farm so I do know what I’m talking about. There are probably more ways to get hurt or die on a farm then playing with a no longer venoumous snake.
These children are learning an important part of their culture, how dare anyone say that isn’t right. These people love their children just as much as you and I do. What makes you think they would hurt them? Because they live differently then us, how much more ignorant and snobbish can you get?
I appreciate that it’s sort of scary to watch because it’s not something we’re used to, but that is why the world is such a wonderful place, because there are so many different kinds of people with all kinds of customs, beliefs, and practice’s.
Shame on all of you, there are so many more important issues in the world, people actually intentionally hurting others, you’re all complaining about families passing on culture and heritage. It’s just silly!!!
I have three children and a grandchild there is no way I would ever place them in harms way like this. Even if the snakes mouths are sewn shut isn’t it teaching the kids not to fear poisonous snakes. What happens when they run into one thats mouth isn’t sewn shut ? Its disgusting. The baby crawling around getting repeatedly struck freaked me out. CRAZY PEOPLE THE PARENTS MUST BE !!!!
WTF! Something needs to be done about that! That snake wrapped around that babies neck and while it was strikin it nobody did anyhting wonder if they stopped the snake before it wrapped itself to hard around her neck and killed her!!! People are so sorry and dont deserve to breathe!
Dont be foolhardy, the snake isn’t a constrictor, it wont kill the child by wrapping around it’s neck, and the reason they dont stop the snake from striking the baby is because it isnt, all snake charmer’s snakes have their mouths sewn together, this isnt child abuse, its just a little silly.

The snakes that the children are holding aren’t cobras. They are sand boas and quite harmless. Many pet store in the US sell them to first time snake owners because they grow no longer than 4 ft and are docile. How do you tell a cobra from sand boas? Look at their snout. A sand boa’s snout is extremely blunt like a worm’s head. The only cobras I see are pretty obvious with their hoods and it looks like the adults teach the kids a healthy amount of respect since they aren’t playing with the cobra and giving it space.
