Colombo Cobra Encounter: A Bittersweet Street Experience

Today in Colombo, Sri Lanka, I found myself in an unforgettable and surreal moment at Independence Square—holding a cobra in a basket. I was so scared to move, every second felt like a delicate balancing act between fascination and fear. It was an experience that was both uplifting and heart-wrenching. In Colombo, it's not uncommon to see people making a living by showcasing their interactions with local animals—monkeys, snakes, and more—right on the streets, all for a bit of extra income.

Seeing this cobra up close reminded me of the complex nature of urban wildlife culture here: a mix of survival, tradition, and sometimes exploitation. The experience left me with mixed emotions—joy at witnessing such a rare moment and sadness over the reality behind it all. It’s a vivid glimpse into a world where nature and urban life intersect in unexpected ways.
