This was the moment a man in Indonesia demonstrated how to help a king cobra shed its skin.
The clip, filmed on June 15, shows Danu bathing the snake before helping it shed its skin.
Because of the aggressive nature of a teenage king cobra, Danu proceeded with caution when holding his head and washing it.
"Pet king cobras sometimes need help with shedding their skin.
They do it to keep it clean and also when they get bigger and older," Danu told Newsflare.
"Uniquely, once the cobra is bathed, it will calm down, then it will come to get a drink, the king cobra will raise his body up to drink," he added.
