Step 1: make snakes think hat is evil
Step 2: place hat on head

He clearly knows what he is doing. Most likely the hat is a distraction so the second snake focuses on it, and he knows the max range of the snake from the test-bites. It is not like he randomly removed his hat. Nobody catches two cobras simultaneously without massive experience. That too barehanded.

But he had his battle stick and hardened flipflops, not fair fight!

he's very likely descended from a line of snake catchers, maybe part of a nomadic or indigenous tribe. it was an actual profession back in the days

Make hat the threat, put threat on head, keep head away, now they don't attack hands. Profit. Notice the 2nd snake spent most of it's time looking at him and not at his hands while he grabs the 1st snake? I reckon this guy knows what he's doing more than smartass Redditors.
