Cobra milk (venom extraction)

Cobra milk, or venom extraction, is the process of collecting venom directly from a cobra's fangs. A trained expert carefully stimulates the snake's fangs to encourage it to bite into a collection container or specialized receptacle. This process is usually done using a long, stiff instrument or a glass your finger, prompting the snake to strike. The venom flows into the container, allowing scientists and medical researchers to study or produce antivenom. It requires precision, patience, and understanding of snake behavior to ensure safety for both the handler and the snake.
