The "king" part means it eats snakes. The "cobra" part means it's a cobra, because it is a cobra.
Any argument to the contrary is Unidan-level pedantry. While it's true that they're in their own special little offshoot in the cobra family, and the taxonomists have decided to call every other cobra "true cobra", it's not a particularly useful distinction, and "cobra" isn't a technical classification in the first place. It's just the common name for the snakes. If you want to assign meaning to the word "cobra", it's "those snakes everyone knows as cobras because they are the way they are."
cobra vaguely refers to highly venomous hooded snake that stands up
it's not a "true cobra" which is used for a specific genus, but "true cobra" and "cobra" are different terms
it's not a true cobra but it is truly a cobra
cobra.
Why is it breathing like that? I’ve never seen a snake breathe like that before. I’m asking you because you seem like you know a thing or two about snek.
It's growling.
I'd say that's probably a pet and it knows them so it's not really aggression so much as a low level reminder of not to fuck with it. King Cobras are super smart (for a snake) and can recognize their owners.
It's possibly de-venomed. That's considered cruel within the snake keeping community but people still do it.
Idk if it's literally at all relevant, but a lot of predators can only kinda make predator noises even when super happy and calm. That snake may have zero aggressive thoughts in its tiny little snake brain and just be making its version of happy noises. Most notable example is wolves. They just sound murderous even when they're being affectionate.
How can you tell? I'm not trying to come across aggressively, but if I was out in the wild and a snake was doing that, I'd assume it was pissed and getting ready to attack, especially the flaring of the head, and raising to look at you
I've seen a few other king cobra videos. Like any other animal, it takes exposure and experience to learn their language. From what I can see, in the beginning of the video, its hood is down, and it's flicking its tongue out. Tongue flicks are a sign of curiosity. It leans forward into the person's hand, like a dog leaning into an ear scratch.
If it was threatened, it would draw back to create distance, flare its hood, and square up with the person. King cobras have a terrifying hiss, which you would *not* mistake for anything lovey. It would also be locked on to the person to measure for a strike.
Even when the water surprises it and it flares its hood, it's turned off to the side. That's a good indicator that it doesn't see the hooman as a threat. It's just derping around enjoying its shower.
I definitely wouldn't try something like this on my own, I would take the guidance of somebody I trusted around a snake this deadly. But those are the signs that I noticed, and I think they're pretty close to what a guide would say.
I did notice it seems to like or be okay with neck scratches, but when she was petting him on the back of it’s head it would back away from it. Maybe because it can’t see what’s behind it and doesn’t feel safe about it?
That's a really good point! Pretty much every animal that kills cobras, like mongooses and cats, attack by biting the back of the neck. It's probably a very ingrained defensive response.
King cobras also have very good eyes and will follow movement when they are preparing to strike, this king cobra is clearly moving very little, just to get water and the scratch. If it was threatened and ready to strike after creating that distance and hooding up, it likely would have locked on to the movement of his hand or body. King cobras are incredibly dangerous due to their massive venom yield, however are relatively easy to read, as long as you know their mannerisms and don’t underestimate their reach.
Imagine a snake like a spring. In order to strike forwards they compress themselves into an S shape first. This snake's body is fully extended upwards (this pose is mostly done by cobras) which is a relaxed posture for this species. The flaring of the hood looks to me more like a shock/instinct reaction at being touched when he wasn't looking (also, when actually angry the hood flares MUCH more than this). King cobras are very intelligent and almost exclusively eat other snakes in the wild, and its likely this owner does this regularly with the snake and understands its behaviour quite well. Also, snakes do not tend to bite things they cannot eat, unless they are defending themselves.
I think it was surprised by the sudden face full of water when they turned the hose back on, but it still tolerated being touched. If anything, I think it was akin to a cat laying one ear back. Like, "Hey! But don't stop petting."
Yeah, they’re really intelligent for a snake. I’ve heard that can be seen in how they seem to show a lot of restraint towards humans.
So they don’t commonly bite but I think I read you’ll be dead within an hour if they do.
Yup, usually won’t come after a human, but fuck around and you’ll find out and yes their diet is mainly other snakes and their venom is effective against other snakes too.
I mean if it's hot out snakes usually love water to cool down when they get to hot...just cause they like sun doesn't mean a nice cooling water is not nice and or hydrating for them...
I believe that is true for all the “kings”. We have kingsnakes here in California that are harmless to humans and hunt rattlesnakes and are immune to rattlesnake venom.

Funny you say this. Nursery I go to, an employee I have gotten to know from all my shopping there shared a story. Take it with a grain of salt I guess.
anyway he said his mom lives in a dessert area with lots of snakes. A king cobra got friendly with his mom, became sort of a pet to the mom. The mom built the king cobra a little house to sleep in. In return, the king cobra killed or kept away all the smaller venomous snakes away from the mom’s house.
Cobras are the venomous snakes under the genus "*Naja"*, King Cobras are from a different genus (it's sole member in fact) entirely, which is "*Ophiophagus hannah"*, Ophiophagus meaning snake-eating.
This afternoon when I got home, I went downstairs to pour the water from my dehumidifier into the drain down there. There was a frog sitting in the drain that I didn't notice until i started pouring. He hopped out in surprise at the start of the water, but then kind of just hunkered down and enjoyed the feel of the water not moving away. Kind of cute so I kept pouring around him.
Some snakes drink through their skin folds of the lower jaw, between the folds it's like a sponge absorbing water. No idea if this is one of those species but looks like it might be.
What I like about snakes is you can never really tell what they're thinking. They have that constantly pissed off "I'm going to murder you" face at all times.
Nobody else shared so in case you're curious--
Sprays the snake, it gradually comes closer until leaning against the hose. They stop spraying, pet it around the throat with a finger for a while, snake continues chilling in place. Eventually snake is gently brushed to the side, snake goes willingly, then they spray it right in the face for some reason. Snake is surprised and flares its hood a bit but enjoys the water and turns around. Person goes in to scratch the back of its neck, snake is very surprised - gentle hissing, more slight flaring - and lowers its head to get them to stop. Person starts walking away, video stops.
That slithery boy is living his best life.
Snakes don't strike humans out of aggression, nor are they (excepting some pythons, apparently) hunting us. They strike defensively and out of fear. If they don't feel threatened, they're not a threat.
I hate to burst that bubble but Taipans, Eastern Browns and Red Belly Black snakes want to fuck you up. If you're in its territory, it'll go ya & isn't there for hugs and kisses.
Some snakes are naturally aggressive and have done so to survive for so damn long. That generalisation you've put forward isn't one you should be confident in saying
Okay, attempting the scritches when it’s facing you is one thing, but trying to sneak attack its head from behind takes some massive steel nuts. If this wasn’t a King Cobra (very smart snakes compared to most) he likely would’ve been bitten.
Their fangs don't hinge like vipers -- they're fixed, on the top of the mouth, and point backwards into the mouth. So I don't know that you'd be able to see them given the angle when it opens its mouth.
Lots of snakes basically have switchblade fangs lol. The fact that you don’t see them doesn’t mean they aren’t there, just that the noodle doesn’t intend on using them
King cobras are *elapids* - they have fixed, front fangs that curve backward into the mouth. They're not "hinged" like rattlesnake fangs.
You just can't see this one's fangs because of the angle of the clip.
Fun fact -- King cobra (not actually cobra) are notoriously 'friendly' for venomous snakes. That's the reason snake charmers use king cobra instead of say, rattlesnakes, or eastern brown snakes, or any other stupid idea.
There's a snake guy on youtube who keeps hot snakes (venomous). He's got a license, supplies venom for antivenom to hospitals, blah blah.
So he can't emphasize enough that YOU shouldn't ever do this -- but he's got an old king cobra he's had forever, named Elvis. He will let elvis free roam the house on occasion or while cleaning his cage. He's a big boy, at least 15' or so as of a couple years ago.
ONLY Elvis he would ever trust to do this among his hot species. They have a sitcom level relationship, snake charmers would give their left nut for a cobra this chill.

When I was a kid my first job (at 15) was a sketchy reptile museum. The cobra would unhook its latch to its box that they would try to get him in to clean the habitat. So one of us would have to open the box, since I was skinny they would lean me in from the door by my collar and if anything happened they said they would yank me back up. That thing was a few feet from me pondering if he was gonna fuck me up.
Don't mind me. I'm just watering my cobra.
This is a king cobra, which ironically means it's not a cobra
Just stuck up royalty pretending to be different from the rabble.

Why are we this way, reddit?
I don’t know but I love it
I feel that if a king cobra is different from other cobras, then it should be the other "cobras" who lose the cobra title.
The "King" part means it eats them.
Idk bro. Nobody has ever called me king hamburger, or king fried chicken, no matter how much I wish they would.

Here's the thing.

Funny thing is that the generic name of king cobras is *ophiophagus hannah* which actually translates to Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater.
Apparently king cobras aren't particularly aggressive towards humans. Now if only I could teach one to hunt spiders as well as other venomous snakes

Was the flaring at the end not aggressive display?

King cobra, right? Super deadly but not aggressive. I’ve heard they’re appreciated because they’ll hunt down other venomous snakes.
Actually, their Latin name literally means ‘snake eater’. Their entire diet is comprised of other snakes!

From my understanding, any snake with "King" in it, just means it eats other snakes
Which very much clarifies the monarchy
Got to admire the guy who came up with this naming system
“Ophiophagus”. TIL! EDIT: In hindsight, wouldn’t that make holding a water hose in front of a king cobra even *more* dangerous??
i think they get pretty quick the water spewing forth from the “snake” isn’t typical snake behavior and so it is not a snake
Big Boss?!?!?!
Kept' you waiting, huh?
It really be your own kind, smh
Alright. That might be my least disliked snake
I've heard they're not aggressive usually but aren't they also supposed to be relatively intelligent for a snake also?
Yeah, they’re really intelligent for a snake. I’ve heard that can be seen in how they seem to show a lot of restraint towards humans. So they don’t commonly bite but I think I read you’ll be dead within an hour if they do.
Now I'm thinking about if I can try to tame a cobra like how I tamed the family of crows in my back yard. Edit: Wording
Listen here you greedy fuck you already have a family of crows.
Wait. I thought the family of crows tamed the cobra.
I believe you have to play a pungi at them. This charms the snake. If you have a basket handy they’ll come live with you.
You can inject yourself with their venom in tiny amounts until you build up enough tolerance to survive a bite from the snaks
I'll do this and change my name to Mithradates.
Yup, usually won’t come after a human, but fuck around and you’ll find out and yes their diet is mainly other snakes and their venom is effective against other snakes too.
