Killian, a volunteer at one of the area's a wildlife rescue sanctuary Everglades Outpost, was cleaning out the cage that housed the 13-foot reptile on Sunday when it attacked.
His treatment includes 20 or more vials of anti-venom and a continual watch by doctors.
Usually an attack by a cobra is followed by internal bleeding and respiratory failure. Fortunately Killian did not suffer any serious symptoms.
Experts with the Miami-Dade's Venom Unit say it's been about 15 years since they've treated a king cobra bite.
