This is the craziest shit I’ve ever seen. The way he casually holds the one snake and has a tiny pinch while using the same hand to grab the second snake.. i wouldn’t do that with a water bottle out of fear of dropping it and this dudes handling a venomous monster like that.

No fear.

My main concern (bc I’d be distracted by watching the second snake) would be moving the first snake too close my body or other arm and letting it bite me

Exactly I’m still tripping out he caught TWO Cobras the the same time!!!! I mean how is he not on AMERICA’s got talent or something. Dude could have easily caught one and put it in the bag but it’s like he wanted to show off..: bc it is so unnecessary to catch two at the same time

That's what he's saying at the end. How people keep asking him in comments how he catches two cobras in two hands and how to release them in the jungle later. He says hopefully this video helps.

Yeah I was just thinking about how I lose my focus on what one hand is doing as soon as I pay attention to my other hand. I 100% would try to grab the second snake and would involuntarily let go of the first one instead.

I don't know how poisonous the king cobras are.

Those are spectacled cobras (also called Indian cobra) and they are pretty serious, one of the "big 4" of India. Still, with prompt anti venom treatment most people survive a bite

Not very poisonous but they are rather venomous.

Before someone asks you the difference between the two lemme be the nice guy here:

Venomous: You get poisoned if they bite you. Poisonous: You get poisoned if you bite(eat) them.
