Tried to request a confirmation to Made about it, but no response yet.
Meanwhile, when the photos were shown to the Head of the Laboratory of Herpitology Research Center for Biology Indonesia, LIPI, Amir Hamidy, he explained the original king cobra snake.

"The snake is a king cobra, or we know it by the Latin name Ophiophagus hannah, which is the longest type of snake in the world, it can reach 5-6 meters in length," said Amir.

"From the last two photographs the photo-taking angle has resulted in greater visibility, the king cobra's behavior can be learned, when he will attack and so on."
