pretty sure it was planted. no one is dumb enough to go out and grab a king cobra like that (venom attacks the central nervous system). there is a lot of shady cobra charmer related stuff going on over there, and i know that for a fact. people saying "they are special" and can "tame them" its all for entertainment. These snakes are usually not well cared for and malnourished, resulting in less potent venom, and it also makes the snakes sluggish... so "mock bites" usually dont deliver venom.
