This is a hognose snake, trying to look big and scary. Not a cobra! This guy can’t kill you. They’re rear-fanged venomous snakes, so they have to have something fairly deep in their mouth (nearly swallowing it) to get their venomous fangs into it, and their venom isn’t lethal to humans anyway. They also don’t tend to bite, they mostly just hiss and puff and then try to play dead.
