Was he seriously free handling a king cobra in the middle of a street at the end of that video?

If i had a guess i would say it was most likely a de-venomed and was very use to being handled

Looks like. don't worry it was just on CNN, really how many people are going to see it. what i can't understand is why he was driving around with it in his trunk? does it somehow play a role in catching gators with your bare hands?

Actually, cobra's aren't the hardest animals to handle, believe it or not. (extreme caution should be taken! don't get me wrong!) the can only strike as far as their head is off the ground. That being said, I believe the king cobra has the longest strike range of any snake but with its back end up in the air like that, I don't think it could do much.
