Is it a cobra?

The easiest way to find out is to put on a motorcycle helmet and get near it. If it hoods up and hisses it’s a cobra, if it spits at you it’s definitely a cobra. I don’t think it’s a spitter, though, because they have black markings and they’re usually very visible. There are spitters, though, that are almost completely white. In terms of head shape, eye size and eye location on the head, I’d say it’s definitely a cobra. They usually want nothing to do with humans, given the chance they’ll just eff off. They also strike from the top down, which makes their striking range very predictable. Next time it shows up, put on a helmet, put the visor down and walk up to it. 2 meters of distance will do the trick just fine.

Wonderful Snake! Seems to be a rare white Burmese Phyton, can bite, but not poisonous. They grab their prey with a powerful bite and strangle it to death.

It’s definitely not a python. Their head shape is completely different and they have hear seeking pits on the side of their head, which would be clearly visible in this video.

Nope. A king cobra with that body width would be considerably longer and the color would also be different and the head would be much larger.
