EVER woke up on a Monday morning and thought your job sucks? Every working adult has that moment, so let’s not be ashamed about it.
But if you think your job is terrible, think again. There are other jobs out there that are downright hellish.
Take it from this viral video on X which showed a poor lad working as a cobra feeder. And when we thought a toxic office environment is bad for health, this one here is literal.

“Good lord no. There’s no amount of money I’d accept to take that job,” said netizen Amanda in the comment section while Ed estimated the pay to be at around $11 per hour.
Then there were several others who claimed they would not do it even if the pay was generous.
The comment section quickly became a place for comedy with Tina Brown who said, “Just how would you word that one on your resume? “I was a snake feeder.” I wonder how many times that guy has been bitten.”
“1st day on the job journal…..the snakes were real jerks today!” said Xrp patriot jokingly.
The online community is no short of smart alecs, so check out some of these hilarious suggestions:
The topic quickly took a turn into animal cruelty with one netizen pointing out that the snakes have every right to be pissed living in such a terrible condition.
“Not cool prison cells for snakes,” AwakenedVeteran22 remarked, followed by James Knight who said it was the dumbest feeding solution imaginable.
On another note, we think it is vital to elaborate on the cobra venom so readers could fully grasp the gravity of the situation.
According to the University Of Michigan, cobras belong to the sub-group of snakes known as elapids.
An elapid’s venom contains postsynaptic neurotoxins that spread rapidly in its victim’s bloodstream, causing respiratory failure and, eventually, death.
Cobra venom is an example of a molecule that prohibits the interaction of acetylcholine molecules with the receptor sites on the diaphragm muscle.
The venom disrupts the neuromuscular junctions involved in human respiration by reacting with the receptor sites in place of the acetylcholine molecules, thus blocking the receptor sites.
In this case, the victim usually dies within 30 minutes. The only way to save the life of a victim of a cobra bite is to inject the appropriate antivenom shortly after the patient has been bitten or put him on an artificial respirator.
To sum up a long story, we hope the cobra feeder boy gets paid enough. Does he even get dental? —Mar 3, 2025
