How does the Indian snake control the cobra from swinging and dancing? In India, snake tricks are a famous street performance. In these performances, the snake trickster carries a basket containing the snake and makes the snake react in various special ways by playing an instrument (flute).

They can control cobras to make all sorts of funny and strange gestures. In addition, the prominent image of the Indian cobra (with its wide skin folds and unique cobra lines) and its rhythm of movement with the sound of the flute make it an important symbol of traditional Indian culture.

In fact, snakes have no outer ears. Although they have inner ears, they are not affected by music. Some researchers have pointed out that many snake players actually send signals to snakes in a two-handed posture. The snake will actually make various body twisting movements based on the left and right swing of the flute and the vibration of the snake player's foot.

However, the skills of these snake-trickers will not be easily seen by the audience, because they are powerful blindfold masters.

Snake charmers rarely catch snakes directly with their hands. In addition, most of their snakes are non-venomous or toothed cobras. In order to protect wild snakes, the Indian government decided to stop the domestic street snake show industry. In fact, in some parts of India, the snake industry is illegal.

The Indian cobra is an important representative species of cobra. It is a venomous snake that is mainly distributed in the Indian subcontinent, hence the name.

The venom of the Indian cobra is a strong neurotoxin. Neurotoxins mainly attack the nerves of the heart, muscles, and respiratory system, so wounds are not very painful. This toxin blocks the connection between organs and the nervous system, leading to muscle paralysis, respiratory failure and cardiac arrest.

The Indian cobra is an oviparous animal. Eggs are laid from April to July each year. Female snakes can lay 12-30 eggs at a time and hatch in underground nests for 48-69 days.

Newborn Indian cobras are about 20-30 cm long and have a perfect venom-secreting gland shortly after birth.

In India, cobras have a sacred and terrifying image. In Hindu mythology, it even has supreme authority. The Hindu god Shiva always has a guard cobra around his neck; Vishnu, the great god who rules the universe, often lay on the "serpent king" Shesha.
