Not enough!! Dear gawd, that gives me the heebie jeebies.

Tommy, you know more about snake behavior, why are they not biting him, are they just used to the interaction?

those cobras may be a bit more used to humans but the onest that are posturing withthe hoods open are saying I am here dont mess with me. Biting is alast resort and dont always release venom becasue they need it for food too. (about 15% of venemous snake bites are dry bites)

A handful of those appear to be monacled cobras which are uber nasty. A friend had an albino one, we took it out and put it on the floor to take pics and instead of trying to hide the damn thing came after us
