[Lubana]

Water cobras have a very narrow hood and they hardly ever display it, very though to catch on camera.

Nope, when I was living in WA, it was perfectly legal to keep them with no permits. Unfortunately, now it is completely illegal.

Ahhh. Gotcha. Here, in FL, you have to be certified. I've given some thought to it, then realized, "Hey! If I'm going to go through all the trouble of being certified, I may as well be certified to milk them. Do you do that with yours?

Here's some excellent info from Dr. Bryan Grieg Fry about the process of milking snakes. There's a lot of specialized equipment and controls involved in order to get viable samples.
