webfact Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Picture: Thai Rath Thai Rath reported that snakecatchers were called to an area by a mosque in Betong, Yala province after a young child saw a King Cobra. It was successfully caught and was a 3.8 meter long specimen. It was thought that the snake came from some more natural area away from houses and was attracted by a meal of rats or chicks. Picture: Thai Rath Yanisa, 11, was out playing with friends when she said she heard rustling. On turning she was aghast to see such a large snake and immediately got some adults to investigate and call for rescue. -- © Copyright ASEAN NOW 2022-10-28 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

Popular Post pacovl46 Posted October 28, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 28, 2022 (edited) Highly unlikely that it was after rats and chickens. Ophiophagus Hannah, the Latin name of the king cobra, translates literally to snake eater because that's what they normally eat.

FarAway Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Nice catch. And nice to see that in the Muslim parts of the country the people stopped this mask nonsense already. Can say what you want about the Muslims, but they are not that easily buying into state propaganda as other Thais. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's possible to trick captive king cobras into eating chicken and rats, though, but only if you take a snake and rub the chicken or rat on it to throw the snake off the chicken/rat scent, which is what people who keep king cobras as pets do, if they don't have snakes at their disposal. But they will grow much faster, if you feed them snakes. King cobras are awesome and extremely intelligent animals, that can become very docile and non-aggressive, if you get them when they're still really young and they never make a bad experience with you. It will take a year or two, though, before they relax because they're quite aggressive when they're young, due to the fact that they're prayed upon in the wild when they're still small. Tyler Nolan on YouTube got one about two years ago now when it was still a baby. It was quite defensive when it was still little, now it doesn't even hood up anymore when he takes it out of its cage because it learned that he's no threat to it. It's quite the sight to be honest. His snake is now 3 meters/10 feet long, but he's been feeding it only lizards in the beginning and as soon as it was big enough for snakes he started feeding it snakes. Awesome snake that one! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea how people like you always jump into conclusions like that. I guess pigeonholing is more easy than arguing with people rationally. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No commentary about how Muslims force women to cover their hair and sometimes their faces with no health benefits whatsoever? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
