It seems to me that the idea of the bounty wasn't bad, the problem is just that it was too high. If they just decreased the bounty to the point that raising cobras was no longer profitable rather than all the way to zero, people would still turn in the cobras they had rather than releasing them. And they might still catch an occasional cobra for a small bounty, if the opportunity presented.

(Or, to shift a little blame away from the British, maybe if the breeders hadn't been stupid/dickish enough to release a fuckload of live cobras in their neighbors' back yards.)
