"Snake Charming"

One reason that I would love to go to India, is to see some snake charming in action. Snake charming is the practice of pretending to hypnotise a snake by playing an instrument called a pungi. Although snakes are able to sense sounds, they lack the outer ear that would enable them to hear music. The snake follows the pungi that the "snake charmer" holds with their hands. The snake considers the person and the pungi as a threat and responds to it by acting as if it were the predator. I also consider many reptiles very fascinating and interesting from India. And this event includes one of those reptiles, the Cobra. I just think it would be so cool to see "snake charming" in action. A lot of people are scared or grossed out by snakes, but not me as well as a few of my friends and relatives. Are you scared/grossed out by snakes?
