A chef preparing a dish from cobra flesh died when the snake's head bit him - 20 minutes AFTER it was cut off.

Victim Peng Fan had been preparing a special dish made from the Indochinese spitting cobra, a rare delicacy in Asia where eating snakes is commonplace.

But when he went to throw the serpent's severed head into the waste bin, it bit him - injecting him with its fast acting venom.

Police say Mr Peng died before he could be given life saving anti-venom in hospital.

Diners who were eating in the restaurant at the time have described screams coming from the kitchen as the tragedy unfolded.

Restaurant guest Lin Sun, 44, who was in the restaurant with his wife Su at the time said: "We were in the restaurant having a meal for my wife's birthday when suddenly there was a lot of commotion.

"We did not know what was happening but could hear screams coming from the kitchen.

"There were calls for a doctor in the restaurant but unfortunately by the time medical assistance arrived the man had already died. After we heard that we did not continue with our meal."

Snake expert Yang Hong-Chang - who has spent 40 years studying cobras - says all reptiles can function for up to an hour after losing body parts, or even their entire body




Couple videos at link - one showing how it can happen.

About 3 weeks ago my pops and I went fishing in this pond in BFE Arkansas (shite, it may have been in Oklahoma, very close to the state line where we parked our vehicle.) Anyway, while on our journey to this honey hole (on foot for like 3/4th's of a mile) through very dense vegetation and what resembled some of the thickest bush I'd ever seen in Louisiana, we had to stop and submit to probably about 6 or 8 God Damn Cobra Kang snakes. A few of them did the whole curl up, raise their head and mean mugged the frick out of us display. We were warned that this honey hole was heavily guarded by such predators, but was assured it would be well worth our risk. So on our last approach to our destination (the final 10 feet or so) this fricking guy literally jumps out from behind a tree and my dad impressed me with this cat like quickness (he's 67, but still a legend in my mind) and he hit it in the top of his head with his cain. While it was stunned I stepped on its head while my dad separated it from its body. My dad felt that it's 20 or so inch body would make for good catfish bait. Well we threw his fricking head in a bucket, where it danced around for a good 30 mins. I know some people confuse diamond back water snakes with cotton mouths, but there was no mistaking this one. He was like showing his evil fricking fangs as his head banged around our bucket like it was a drum or something. Since I'm already at tl;dr I might as well add that I filmed this with my iPhone 4s, and in the process my dad thought it would be hilarious to throw a rock at the back of my legs while screaming "SNAKKKEEE" and I straight tossed my phone about 15 feet into the pond.

In conclusion: lots of God Damm Cobra Kang snakes. Kilt one. Head is fricking evil. Caught 3 catfish that weighed less than 4 lbs. lost phone. Luckily due for free upgrade. Dad is a fricking a-hole. Will never risk my life with him again.

just me, but if I was fricking around with deadly snakes for a living I would be damn sure to have some anti venom on hand at all times.

kinda.like a person who is allergic to peanuts keeps an epipen on them at all times.

Well, duh.

Killing it doesn't make the poison go away. And snake nerves are active for a long time.
