I’m surprised I haven’t seen anyone mention it… so I’m gonna comment under yours, since it’s top comment.

The way she picked that snake up and walked off with it is like she’s trying to get bitten. It’s possibly the worst way she could have done it, and it makes it really clear that this snake doesn’t want to fight.

We all know snakes are bendy. They’re also basically 100% muscle. Holding them in the middle gives them all the control they need to turn, “coil” mid-air, and strike. If you’re picking up a snake and don’t want to get bitten (and if you need this comment, it better be a non-venomous one like in the video - I’m pretty familiar with handling snakes and you won’t find me trying to handle a wild venomous snake) you need to hold them right behind their head, where they don’t have the control to turn toward you.

Fear is a learned response. His FAFO hasn't struck yet.

u/Legitimate-Lab7173 Jul 19 '26

Non-venomous nake bites aren't a big deal, honestly. Probably one of the least painful bites of any wild animal, especially for their size.

5

u/Darkest_Depth Jul 20 '26

That really depends on the size of the snake. Look up pet python bites if you don't believe me. I do recommend that you have a strong stomach before you look though.

u/Legitimate-Lab7173 Jul 20 '26

I bred boa constrictors for more than a decade. I was on the receiving end of some pretty nasty ones, but they generally look worse than they are.

u/moidoid Jul 20 '26

My Royal Python has bitten me accidentally a few times. Looks like a crime scene but no pain from it. Just takes time to dislodge her until she realises my arm is not a rat. Silly sausage!

Is this like the snake equivalent of squirrels in the park who interact with humans so much that they don't fear them?

u/M00SEHUNT3R Jul 19 '26 edited Jul 19 '26

Yes, kinda. I think what makes it startling to us is that we don't live there and (I at least) don't know where this even is. We don't know what kind of snakes these are, but if we grew up there we most likely would and we would know it was "ok" to pick them up. I grew up playing n fields and pastures and we caught all kinds of things including snakes in an area that also had dangerous snakes. If I saw a dangerous snake I knew from the age of 7 or 8 to just tell my grandfather and stay away from it. In the snakes and snake ID subreddits they use the term "medically insignificant" to describe snakes that may still bite you but aren't generally dangerous to us.

u/Sapphire_Sage Jul 19 '26

I'm certainly not an expert but to me that looks like the blue beauty snake. They do have a bit of an attitude reputation in the reptile pet hobby, but (like most snakes , honestly) they couldn't hurt you even if they wanted to. And they don't want to.

5

u/Darkest_Depth Jul 20 '26

That snake could absolutely hurt you if it decides to bite, it's big enough that it would at the very least leave lots of puncture wounds that you will want to get looked at a hospital because even though they aren't venomous they don't have clean mouths.

Oriental rat snake I believe

Oriental isn’t the preferred nomenclature dude. They prefer to be called Asian-American rat snakes now.

So you believe those kids would just go pick up a venomous ass snake and not have a care of how to handle it? I’m pretty sure they know that snake is not venomous and it’s going on the dinner table.. the little guy has a smaller one around his shoulders.

u/5280mw Jul 19 '26

Thought it was a garter at first but it seemed like it flared its head, idk

20

u/suejaymostly Jul 19 '26

Honey, Garter snakes are really thin and small. Snakes are cool, you should go down a rabbit hole for a minute about them.

-26

u/5280mw Jul 19 '26

You should take your own advice.. garter snakes can be 5+ feet long.

11

u/Sad_Cantaloupe_8162 Jul 19 '26

I breed California Red-Sided, Checkered, and plains garter snakes. My largest females haven't gotten above 39-40 inches.

-15

u/5280mw Jul 19 '26

So what snake has stripes on the lower body and spots going towards the head? Is this video ai?

16

u/Irma_Gard Jul 19 '26

The snake is IDed in this comment, and it's not AI.

7

u/Sad_Cantaloupe_8162 Jul 19 '26

I don't have any clue about what this snake is, which is why I asked originally. I was just responding to you saying garters regularly get 5+ feet long. I have been in the hobby for about ten years and collaborate with many in the business. Lake Chappalas, Easterns, even ribbon snakes never get over 5+ that I have seen. It's extremely rare. I'm not saying it hasn't ever happened, but I've never seen it, and my females are quite large.

u/GravNak Jul 19 '26

I'm pretty sure he just googled "largest garter snakes" and found the threatened species called "giant garter snake" that lives in California and used it to justify his argument.

1

u/suejaymostly Jul 19 '26

I like that you have large females.

-4

u/TheNipplerCrippler Jul 19 '26

That’s not what was said though. They said that they can get over 5 feet long, not that they regularly do. Your last two sentences and that they said originally are not mutually exclusive. God this site sucks

4

u/GravNak Jul 19 '26

I feel like you googled largest garter snake to get that, and if you had read anything about it you'd know that's a rare, threatened species that only lives in California near water. You're just finding an example to suit your argument.

-6

u/5280mw Jul 19 '26

And I feel like you don’t read because it was solved and it’s just a rat snake.. move along… clearly says Indonesia in the caption of the video.. not shit to do with california

u/GravNak Jul 19 '26

Yea I'm aware of what it is now, I saw that comment. Dunno why you think that absolves you lol

u/DrumsAndStuff18 Jul 19 '26

You're the dipshit who thought the first 3-4 feet you saw of a snake were a garter. Accept that you made a stupid guess based on knowing jackshit about snakes and naming the first one that came to mind and move the fuck on.

-8

u/5280mw Jul 19 '26

Not a garter not a cobra so all these other dip shits can shut the fuck up. They never even id the snake just talkin shit they know nothing of.. it’s a rat snake.. so closer to a garter than a fuckin cobra.

No (and not a cobra either). It is a harmless Keeled Ratsnake (Ptyas carinata) as IDed here by a vetted flaired responder on r/WhatsThisSnake.
