Snake hunting is an exciting activity. but in prevention of overexpectation and disappointment, i always tell my crew that even the world's most experienced snake hunters don't get snake every time they hunt. Averagely 1 snake per day is a pretty high standard.
First, let i try some water. I wanted to go deeper but the mic set couldn't get wet as we didn't have spares.
Got the first one as an appetizer - Water Snake
Crikey!
Water snake bites can't kill but you don't want a bite - they have a lot of long, backward teeth
They are a little venomous actually
Green snake isn't always a dangerous one
When the moon's over the head, it's our time...
Main course - Cobra!!
It ain't too easy to hold the head as it kept rolling itself.. keep rolling rolling rolling.. and i don't wanna squeeze too hard to hurt it. The skill is to hold very very tight, but be very very gentle meanwhile.
Never given up on trying to bite... i luv this cobra
very close. But even if it spits venom, i guess my cheaters will save my lil chinky eyes
Please note: Snake Hunting is not for everyone. Don't try this at home.
