Yeah, i made a research on this sort of fight and it turnned out that, contrary to what i thought, the majority of these encounters end with the death of the cobra. Seems like pythons have a certain tolerance to the venon and when the cobra fails to inject enough, it’s the end of the line. Cobras have light density muscles, fit for speed not strenght, and can’t endure a constricting fight.

Yes, but that’s from a cobra documentary (that focus on the choice of prey, among other things) and they had to chose footage to match their point. On more spontaneous and ordinary footage, taken from raw situations, you will actually find the cobra choked to death, in most of these encounters.
