Charming to the last.

Raised in captivity the teeth are removed. The snake is really responding to movement and not the music.

 

I was greatly looking forward to getting a picture like this while in India.

 

For further inspiration (although the Cobra is the antagonist) read Rikki-Tikki-Tavi. It is a small part of the Jungle Book by Kipling. I remember a cartoon version from the 1970's.

 

If you really want to nerd out listen to "Riki Tiki Tavi" by Donovan.

 

Bonus points to anyone who recognized the Star Wars quote in the title.
