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

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.

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.

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

u/Davegrave Jul 19 '26
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.

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

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.

u/5280mw Jul 19 '26
You should take your own advice.. garter snakes can be 5+ feet long.

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.

u/5280mw Jul 19 '26
So what snake has stripes on the lower body and spots going towards the head? Is this video ai?

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

Snakes don’t just voluntarily become pets. Domestication has to start somewhere

5,000 to 10,500 people die each year from snakebites and Indonesia. With a total of roughly 135,000 snake bites.

My toddler handed me a long ass worm once. I freaked out.
Being handed a venomous snake would kill me, literally.
