Don't try this at home. This is purely for educational purposes. This snake is very dangerous.

A trainee snake catcher was filmed showing off his skills in front of a crowd in Pekanbaru, Riau Province, Indonesia. Footage captured on July 2 shows Muamar Syaidah, 21, bringing a huge king cobra under control by using a metal stick and his bare hands.
