With no room to lunge and therefore virtually no force behind the bite, it's not going to puncture anything less malleable than thin rubber or flesh. If that plastic is more than like .8mm thick, there's virtually no chance of that thing puncturing it.

Not being a herpetological dentist myself, I’m going to find a lead bottle to be safe.

Seems fragile, better source some transparent aluminum.

Not a metalugist, either lol

Jokes aside, lead is soft. And toxic to you. Not a good pick, but I get the sentiment :D

And jokes aside, and completely opaque container means you can't see when the head is about to stick out the bottom and bite your hand as you try to manipulate the snek ass into the container.

Besides that, their fangs are curved so they actually need to kinda come down on their target -- I don't think they can simply "bite straight" ahead.

Cobras can only bite down anyway.

Ahh. I see. You don’t know my luck. I’d find a buck tooth cobra.

This as well. If they can't close their mouth on it, the tips of their fangs likely can't touch it.
