When you’re unwinding at home, the last thing you’d expect is a snake slithering out of your couch, let alone one curled up in a cushion. Yet, that’s precisely what happened to a man who discovered a cobra nestled inside his sofa cushion. A now-viral video captures a snake charmer carefully handling the situation.
The thrilling clip, which has taken Instagram by storm, shows the charmer, equipped with an iron rod, searching for the hidden cobra. As he cautiously pulls at the cushion, the snake finally reveals itself—coiled, alert, and ready to defend. The cobra raises its hood the moment it is disturbed, flicking its tongue in a clear warning. The charmer avoids its multiple defensive strikes.
With each attempt, the snake grows more defensive, hood held high, heightening the suspense for viewers. Though the video cuts off before showing the cobra’s final rescue, the encounter has left viewers unnerved.
Watch the video:
Responding to the video, one user wrote, “I’d put that pillow on fire.” Another user commented, “Ese video dekh ke bed pe sone se der lagta hai (After watching this video, I am scared to sleep on my bed).” Another user wrote, “Cobra be like – chain se sone bhi nahi dete.”
