This is an example gross irresponsibility, on two counts. The snake in question, a cobra, has obviously had a surgical procedure to render it harmless, or as is often the case, the mouth could have been sewn up to prevent it from biting.
The other issue with this clip is, what will be ingrained in the child and what happens if this little one encounters another cobra in different circumstances?
Snakes can become social over time, treating humans with indifference, however in this instance this is obviously not the case, the snake's posturing tells us that it feels threatened. Had this snake been able to administer an effective bite, this child most likely would have died a horrible death.
