In a viral video, a man who appears to be an expert snake handler, pours a bucket of water on a cobra's head and then calms it by patting on its hood. Later, the man again showers the cobra by pouring another bucket of water on the reptile. The cobra seems to be enjoying the cold shower. The video has evoked thousands of views since it was posted online.
