HYDERABAD: A youth died after bitten by a cobra while he tried to make a reel with the head of the snake in his mouth. The incident happened at Desaipet village of Kamareddy in Telangana. The dead is 20-year-old Shivaraj. His father is a snake charmer and Shivraj was trained under him.

After catching a two-meter-long cobra, Shivaraj started taking photos and videos with it. Meanwhile, he put the snake's head in his mouth to become viral. A video of the youth with the snake’s head in his mouth is circulating on social media.

Meanwhile, the cobra bit Shivaraj's tongue and spewed poison into his mouth. Some species of cobras have the ability to spit venom. The venom is squirted out through a hole in the top of the fang. If this poison falls in the eye, one may lose their vision. If the poison reaches the organs in high doses, it can cause death.
