Very much south..
he clearly knows king cobras very well, but what he is doing does seem somewhat ill advised
 
While the intelligence of kings simply amazes me, this is not something I'd call a wise choice in terms of snake training - mostly due to the whole "smart snake" thing. Sure, it recognizes the gloved hand. But if it recognizes that it's the glove that it can't bite, it can also recognize that the glove doesn't cover the guy's full arm - or neck, or face, etc.
 
Wow!!!!
 
i see nothing wrong here. dude obviously is quite knowledgable in what he is doin. more power to him. if he is able to master this technique then so be it. I say GL to him. its obvious the snake recongnises it, and maybe he can get it to the point where he can do it without a glove.

I started by saying that it was a debatable issue ( this guy is not a moron like the other rattler self envenomator ).

This guy knows exactly what he is doing.

But, even so, I find the internet makes this type of practices doubly dangerous.
