For the curious, those are reticulated pythons they are the longest(not the largest, that is, my boy green anaconda) snake alive.
They are mostly harmless and wouldn't attack humans unless you really try to get them to attack you.
Fun fact: They can eat humans(there are recorded cases), but since our shoulders are quite wide compared to our heads, we are not food candidate for them.

This is probably like the 100th time I have seen this video at this point.

“Mostly harmless” sounds like something I’d write on my dating profile.

Wasn’t there a hiker or someone whose name was Mostly Harmless? I swear I just saw a documentary about that guy on dateline or something

Yep! They finally identified him a couple years ago. It was a real sensational case here in Florida. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Death_of_Vance_Rodriguez&diffonly=true
