Hello...definately NOT common with cobra's...they do have snake charmers who claim to be experts %26 all, but not good to mess with cobras at any time !!! Take Care

Highly venomous and can kill in a single strike.its poison is neurotoxic and will attack the nervous system.
snakes know no masters and dont even think of keeping a cobra as pet... its likekeeping a ticking time bomb with u if it bites u,,,, u will be playing guitar in the heaven within minutes..
a cobra? i think you need a permit for that. if you dont know about this then you probably have should not have one. get a ball python or something stay away from the venomus stuff
I know the video of which you are referring to, of the baby in India and the Cobra with its mouth sewn shut. This is a common practice among so-called "snake charmers" in India; the snakes have had their mouths stitched shut so they cannot bite, or EAT and drink, which means that they will slowly starve to death. These people put their kids with such snakes to get them used to the snake. The snake is NOT a pet, but nothing more than a prop to be used and discarded as a means of conning people who do not know that the snakes cannot bite into thinking that the "snake charmer" has some magic power over the animals that keep them from being bitten, so they will pay a lot of money to watch the "show". In one episode of the "Crocodile Hunter", Steve Irwin showed how these snakes are mutilated in the name of "entertainment"; not only are their mouths stitched shut, but often their fangs are removed by using a knife to cut out the upper jawbone to which the fangs are attached.
oh my god!!! snake r dangerous!!! especially COBRA!!
