I HERE IT IS NOT TOO TOXIC, BUT THE FACT THAT IT CAN FILL A CUP IS WHAT MAKES IT SO DEADLEY. SORRY FOR THE CAPS.

The toxicity is less tham that of other cobras. The common cobra (Naja naja)in your country is far more toxic than the King Cobra. The King cobra has as much as one gram of venom available for use. One keeper bitten required 1.1 liters of antivenom, yes..1100 mL to counter act the bite of a king cobra.
I thought all snakes in India were protected at this time? The only people allowed to collect them are the people that collect venom for antivenom production.
Good Luck,
Al
