  • 5 years ago
Indonesian snake charmer Ice Habibi plays with wild king cobras at his rural home in Riau province, Indonesia.

Bare-chested Ice, aged 27, is seen handling two giant king cobras with his hands in front of a crowd of locals without any safety equipment at his home in Mentulik village, Kampar Regency on January 23.

"Ice is different from famous snake charmers," writes filmer and local journalist Yudi Bogel. "He is immune to the venom."

Ice describes snake bites from the deadly king cobra as minor irritations "like insect bites" with only a little bit of itching.
