King Cobra Venom Extraction

- I apologize for the background noise. This video was filmed at the Reptile Discovery Center, in DeLand, Florida. Their website is below:
www.reptilediscoverycenter.com/
Just to clarify a few things (I know, trolls can't read, but I'm going to try anyways.)
Snakes have kinetic skulls - this means their skulls are very complex, composed of several joints, hinges, and pieces, that allow them to expand and stretch in ways yours and mine simply can't.
This flexibility is an adaptation that enables snakes to swallow whole prey that are much larger than their heads.
So while it looks like the animals skull is getting smushed, that is not the case. It is simply flexing along it's natural joints.
also, people handling venomous snakes do not have the luxury of using a light and easy grip. Venomous animals are highly dangerous, and must be held securely at all times to prevent bites (and fatalities). A loose grip would enable the snake to bite him, or his assistants.
Nigga is squeezing the snake like a lemon
If he didn't squeeze it as tight as he did, it would spit venom all over him. Please make comments like that if ou know what your talking about.
+TheDirrin it was a joke
+Cole Miller well harambe is a joke now.
lol
Catira App yoooooooo lmao
I'd also like to address a few people's concerns: Compared to other venomous snakes, Cobra fangs are relatively small. A little squishing is necessary to get those small fangs through the plastic, and encourage the snake to release it's venom. That's OK because snakes have Kinetic skulls - skulls in many parts, most of which are jointed, and allow for a certain degree of flexibility and stretching (which allows them to eat things much larger than their head!). It can handle a little "squishing".
imagine king cobras in there habitat watchin this on the big screen. Then professor indian cobra comes out with eyeglasses and a piece of paper reading "sssss these are the sss conditions that our brothers are kept ssss in. such vile creasturesssss the humanssssss are".

Forget the venom extraction - my focus is directed at the assistant :)))))
She looks like she can extract some venom!
Comment sections on animal videos are straight cancer.
+XxCriealisxX And you're a part of it congratz.
I could not agree more. retards are everywhere its nice to see another human with intelligence on these videos.
Yeah. It seems like everyone here is an animal expert.
+Junior Figueroa Street you don't need to be an expert to know how animals should be treated. We all live on this planet yet humans think that they're the only ones building houses on animals homes, building roads hence the animals get run over to to cross a "street" that used to be just fields, and people just killing of animals for money. So in the end we're worse than any deadly snake or animal on earth. And it's sad that so many people fail to realize that. Everything deserves respect whether it's a goldfish or the president. Can't you tell? They did this to show people how venom is extracted. In the end I think that humans end up on a lower level than animals themselves.
+AimhackG I'm saying no matter how important something or somebody is they deserve the same respect we would give to anyone or anything else
King Cobra: Damn you humans! Damn you!

I bet it would be hard for that guy to get life insurance.
He probably leaves out the fact he does this
This guy is pressing on this poor snake.he looks like he's about to snap his jaw off and break it into two.like chill man go easy on the creature, their delicate.
+Lealem Tesfaye
Snakes have whats called a kinetic skull - it has a lot more joints and hinges than yours and mine do, and as a result, they are very flexible, which is what enables snakes to eat something much larger than their heads. :)
You can't simply 'go easy' when handling venomous snakes - they won't hesitate to bite (and possibly kill) you. A firm grip is necessary for the safety of everyone involved, because animals that have been recorded to have killed a person are often euthanized.
Oh thanks
+Garrett Beach can you tell me why are you so stupid?pls
Garrett Beach not you
Oh right lol It was you,got confused because I just woke up
These people are brave as heck... I wouldn't even be able to be in close facility to these things!!

Here in the Philippines wr play with them
Just type vava suresh in TH-cam😎
Not to brag but i picked up a garter snake the other day...
This man is the only one who was shown in brave wilderness
It looks uncomfortable, but venom extraction doesn’t hurt the snake. Mildly annoys it sure, but for a snake this big it’s a minor inconvenience at worst. Think of it like a human donating blood. (With very very rare exceptions) It doesn’t kill you, it doesn’t leave any lasting pain or suffering, and afterwards you go back to going about your day. And as a bonus to that analogy, it’s helping people.
In simple words...this is like masterbuting.
Its closer to getting a throat sample when testing for viruses rather than giving blood
All animal protectors are like "Please don't kill anima- EEEW A NAKED MOLE RAT KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT!"
re
kzzak
You guys need to chill. The way these guys were milking the cobra won’t break its neck. The cobra can open its mouth wider than that. Also they are pushing down fairly hard so the snake gives venom. Snakes aren’t puppies these guys are much more durable than you guys think. Stop underestimating these mighty beasts.
Darius Ramkissoon I know what you mean and they are doing this because they can turn it to anti venom to save people
No one asked you
Super Cute It is called”Giving an opinion”
Darius Ramkissoon u know god creation and i know they r venomous and all that ans they kill but still i feel sorry for that snake dont tell them to so harder because they might kill it
I specifically don't underestimate them id just hate to be in that state if I was that snake
Fabulous animals. I was lucky enough to film venom extraction from three big king cobras from inside the room at the Bangkok Snake Farm a few years ago.... quite an experience.
Anyone else notice how the cobra couldnt breathe that well
Imagine if that cobra were to read these comments....
"These humans think I'm as delicate as a worm?! How dare they!"
Da Dragon Durp omg ikr😂
Da Dragon Durp why I keep seeing u in every video...like in coyote
Da Dragon Durp he would be so hissed off at us
Do you want to kill that king Cobra because I have a king Cobra!!!!!😠😠😠
Da Dragon Durp
Cobras do watch TH-cam
are they letting the snake go after they're done extracting it's venom? they are not killing it or anything, right?
Most likely not. These reptiles are in a centre. It won't be killed, but will mostly be reused to obtain more venom which is either researched to understand its origins or be sent to labs to be tested in enhancing or developing pain killers for cancer patients etc. There are venom hunters who do search out in the wild and let them go though.
Better to kill it before it kills you.
These are captive snakes. They are kept and cared for so they can be milked for their venom (which they regenerate). It is valuable for medical science.
Oh, they most definitely chop it up in front of the horrified children.
They never let them go they keep then until they die for venom or they sell them to zoos
These snakes are really cool I'm a new subscriber (:
I feel sorry for the snake... He seems want to curse everybody there
Avada Kedavra! Now, Nagini, dinner!
Thousands of lives are saved because of this process
@@adelsweify yeah... I know...
Once it bites u…u will b the one cursed
You also know damn well that anyone who is bitten by one those things is thinking, "I am sure thankful that an anti-venom is avilable."
That's actually how you hold big snakes often. If you lighten your grip to the snake, it might roll you to get space and might attack you.
*S H O O K T* THANK YOU! SOMEONE WHO FINALLY UNDERSTANDS SOMETHING!
Oh and hi army :)
YES! FINALLY! YOU GET IT TO! THAT IS REALLY TRUE!
Why even hold a snake in the first place. Whats the point?
Armyy
Shookt are you a army bts??
Some snek: So describe your life atm bro?
Cobra: PEACHY
Ttypl
Great video! :)
did you know that if you drink venom you can sleep forever
No you can't. Dying isn't sleeping.
loool
It was a joke soo
James Catana no way
Lol when u die u don't sleep lol
Sure, now you feel sorry for the snake but when it bites someone you'll want it dead.
I'd like to see the people feeling sorry for the snake alone with the king cobra in front of them
Whoever complaints they are complainers.
i really appreciate it for researching for such development. Keep it up. No hard feelings for snakes since we do it for some better things of our life bcoz human' s life is important than animal's life. First take care of humans and later animals. Biggest mistake in our human race we run after only animal caring but forgot to care for human.
I just feels like a squeezing a lemon piece while watching this🕵🕵🕵🕵
at the start king is like "nope not in mood for biting today"
ular kobra
in
thanks
everyone is right. yes he could had been a little more gentle. but I have a snake and they are not as delicate as you may think.
Finally, a person that actually understands that snakes aren't puppies, especially not king cobras.
I wanna see how those whiners handling a snake that big.
Delicate with something that can kill you lol. Smart. That’s how people used to end up on liveleak

What if a tiny bit falls into his eyes while they are taking its jaws off the collection funnel?

Depois da extracção do veneno ,quanto tempo a serpente leva para ter a reposição novamente?
Obrigada pela atenção
It takes around a week or two to retain all the venom that has been removed from the glands.But sometimes it also depends on the snake that you are dealing with.Different species have different types of venom mainly neurotoxic and hameotoxic. It depends.
sim, pode levar de dias a semanas para repor todo o seu veneno.
fk sakes why is everyone getting so angry? they are doing this to research for anti-venom and save some fking lives.
ikr!
They have probably tested a snake before they're doing this to show people how the venom is extracted. Everything deserves respect including the poor snakes that are forced to live for these purposes
+Seng I know right. It is funny how everyone is getting angry while the animals they eat get treated worse than this. I don't see them complaining about that lol
***** Doushbag* jaws* there* anti* venom* it's*
+Seng Because those people value an animal's life over a human's any day of the week.
that snake looks so funny, it like something trying to say "mm what is this? a cup? i dont li--- BLARRGHHH man!! stop it i don-- BLARGGGHHHH BLARGHHH man!! i'll bite u in the as--- BLARRRRGHHHH BLARGHHHHHHHH!!!"
hahahaha, i actually watched the video a second time just to put those dubs in
"$20 cash to the man who chugs that glass."
VIDEOS: snakes can be cute.
VENOM: imma bout to end this body's whole carreer.
this guy milked the fuck out of that king cobra
I know he sure milked the fuck outta MY King Cobra. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
My favorite part is the comments section.
Midori Rozu yes sir
ikr I have like almost read all of them, people are so stupid xD
i fucking get cancer everytime i read a triggered ``animal lover´´ complaining about how they ``torture´´ the poor little snake
GG Ross 十
Oh jeez when he starches it I was like YEAH YOU WAIT NO WAIT OK phew he got it
It requires a lot of strength 💪
Looks like the snake hesitated to bite, not agressive.
sherlock72 snakes use their venom very carefully because their vulnerable without it. It takes a lot of energy to produce.
Looks like a less toxic version of my wife.
That's a good one...lol!

Will you stop squeezing it’s head?
no dumbass
" We shouldn't be doing that to animals! It's just cruel!"
Let's hear you say that when you've been bitten and your dying in a hospital bed, waiting for an anti-venom. I'm sure all of you will be singing a different tune
Ask Jade He’ll yeah, I would want to kill that fucking snake with an axe
That's if your dumb enough to even go near the King Cobra when you know it's a dangerous animal
So shut up
Lauryn Chen she'd just trying to make a point no need to tell her to shut up and plus what if the snakes sneaks up in you?
Ask Jade ur right u have a point. like I feel sad when I see animals is like that I cry i even if they're dangerous
That lady can handle my Cobra any day.
Yaaah buddy!
xx gamers

She would need a microscope just to see the darn thing...
Bahasa apa itu
Rokhim Boim inggris lah
When extracted, will it still have the venom again
Yes
Everybody gangsta until the real king show up...
The “roughness” and sort of vigorous movement is probably because of the snakes resistance. He needs to have a firm grip first of all. Those snakes are strong and if he lets up on the grip it won’t just slither away and mind it’s own business. That cobra is one huge muscle and it’s hard to be delicate with something that’s constantly pushing back.
tisk tisk. cobras are on par with mambas for strength. That dude was fighting for handle on the little guy. Thankfully cobra wasn't too aggravated
0:05 I knew it! My ex is related to cobras...Cant say i miss you hannah.
Xd
Hannah needs to chill with the venom
I have hard times sleeping, this is the only thing that would help me!
bruh who's that baddy holding the back end of the snake tho?
I want her to hold my snake!
+Lemonfish Champion don't we all bruv! she seems like a good snake handler ;)
That's my friend Laura

Sharar Sitar and
It is a King Cobra...a pretty strong and dangerous Reptile. I have two myself and I've to say, that "cruel handling" is needed to ensure safety. Especially when you have visitors.
Cheers
Thats how every mother wants their child to eat healthy food.
Am I the only person who’s satisfied when the man try to push the snake into that glass 😂
time to show myself with that new shampoo that guy got
One day snakes will grow arms, then they will man handle that dude.
what does the scaner say about there power level?
Actually the snake's ancestors had small limbs. They evolved and lost them though.
Robshaikh Geometry dash It's true tho
Maybe one day when you’re drunk or in a dream
Some day u will grow a brain and start saying things THAT MAKE SENSE!!
Superb video
I once saw the king cobras is so big, like man forearm, that snake I see at the land field after burning.
I feel sad for the snake, but omg look at how lanky the guy moves it XD

+Panda Jansen dont fuck with it then 😑
Fuhrer you’re a fucking idiot.
Snakes are extreamly tough animals and he had to be rough because of it bit him he would be dead snake venom turns blood into slime
Yea
Ya I do to... Isnt that panefol?
wtf is that really a cobra? the size looks like a damn python
Omniscient Bar KING Cobra yeah, largest venomous snake on earth, the smaller one's more commonly seen have killed more people though.
Omniscient Bar its a cobra bra

aha AHA pythons are much lareger
@@nassarro1 Some pythons are larger. Plus king cobras are known to eat pythons whole.
This science lab is the perfect setting for the origin story of snake man and venom woman.
Good thumbnail 👍👍👍👍👍
wouldn't a female king cobra be a Queen Cobra? 😂😂😂
Technically this is true, but still. King cobra, sounds better in my opinion.
Only thing stronger then king kobra is his queen if u know what i mean

Such a gorgeous snake❤️
As a king cobra myself, I can confirm that squishing is necessary.
is it bad that i litrally have a pet cobra?\
Wow your dog is so cool
Obviously you need force when extracting venom from King Cobra, but camera flashing and all the background noises were idiotic to be there. Snake was stressed out bad and anybody who knows a tiny little bit of serpents can say the same thing.
Agreed and it was too rough. Hopefully they don't put it through that very often. Very unnatural and stressful for the animal.
Ooh, is that a new drug? I heard it puts you to sleep 😍

Ana Lemos wow good effort for attention! You know, this doesn't make you look gentle, just really annoying
Lovely Girl I don't look gentle? you don't even know me. by the way, with this comment you're the one who doesn't seem gentle and even more annoying than "me". stop being rude with people who you don't know. this is not cool and is really, really rude.
You guys are saying "oh he's squeezing his head so hard because the snake can kill him" ok so? Humans can kill each other, that doesn't mean you can go around and squeezing humans heads for no reason....I can understand if the snake was attacking him but no, the snake was captured and used as a poison donor and squeezed until he had no more left to give....and no one sees nothing wrong with that?
No, we don't see something wrong with that.
Snakes have kinetic skulls - this means their skulls are very complex, composed of several joints, hinges, and pieces, that allow them to expand and stretch in ways yours and mine simply can't.
This flexibility is an adaptation that enables snakes to swallow whole prey that are much larger than their heads.
So while it looks like the animals skull is getting smushed, that is not the case. It is simply flexing along it's natural joints.
also, people handling venomous snakes do not have the luxury of using a light and easy grip. Venomous animals are highly dangerous, and must be held securely at all times to prevent bites (and fatalities). A loose grip would enable the snake to bite him, or his assistants.
The cobra probably doesn't feel jack shit.
Boi that snakes jaw is flexsibile as shit it doesnt even feel it
Well no, you wouldn't go squeezing humans skulls, because we don't have venom that can be used to make anti-venom to save lives.
Everyone you interact in the comments with right now is a human. You wouldn't be okay with people squeezing human's heads because there is nothing to be gained from it. They're not extracting poison, they are extracting VENOM which will be turned into antivenom and pain medication for cancer patients. This snake being in captivity is saving lives of your own species. You should be thankful for that rather than sorry for the snake.
If the cobra bites u after extraction,will u dye
Did anyone notice that the man extracting the venom is Carl who appeared on one of the latest episodes of brave wilderness.

Snake in his head after the 50th bite “HOW THE FUCK DID HE NOT DIE”
How tf would anyone know how the animal feels lmaooo “iT dOEsn’t HUrt tHeM”
I see you were being really gentle there, I'm sure the creature will remember you for that.
I would never think that i would feel bad about the snake. Even though i know that they are not harming him. weird feeling
why feel bad? he lives a life of luxury compared to wild snakes.
Idontkno yea living in container isn't life than seeing a nature
Meanwhile In Science
The assistant's ring is interesting!
The venom they collect are for studying and snakes has a STRONG jaw. Nevertheless that’s it’s natural composition.
After that, the cobra drink back the venom using a funnel 😁
Who’s the assistant 😍
Simp
I think the snake is able to swallow large prey because of it's powerful jaw muscles not because of having kinetic skull as written in your description
Where do they find these people?
