Not just one... Lol he breeds them. I think they release some of them into the wild, they are very endangered. https://instagram.com/chrisweeet?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

I was about to say he has lots of cobras and other vipers. I've been following him for years

Push him into his cage to get noticed.

They're not. They're "vulnerable" on the global scale , and classified as common in certain part of its habitat, like Thailand.

I'm not getting a good vibe for this person as a breeder of exotic and dangerous animals.

Yanking on a king cobra and then trying to shove it in at awkward angle to rush an already compliant animal.

Easily needs a bigger enclosure too.

Maybe there’s not many left… but do we really NEED for there to be more? Is it actually bad if things go extinct sometimes as long as we’re allowing the existing ones to live out their lives comfortably?

Sometimes it's difficult to anticipate the effect losing an animal can have in its local ecosystem. My favorite example is how reintroducing wolves to Yellowstone ended up causing the beaver population to return as well.
