The clip quickly gained traction, garnering over 3 million views on Instagram through the account ‘PANJI PETUALANG.’ Despite the high risks, viewers were in awe of the man’s calm demeanor, many attributing it to his “positive aura.”

The responses on social media were mixed. Some praised the man’s fearless confidence, while others expressed concern for his safety. One user wrote, “For 15 seconds, I didn’t breathe,” acknowledging the fear everyone felt watching the risky stunt. Others commented on the perceived spiritual bond between the man and the cobra, with one remarking, “The cobra only takes pure souls frequency.”
