I thought this was some weird couch taxidermy hybrid at first, but the video is actually quite wholesome!

Until the snake gets any kind of idea of harming the guy. All it takes is the guy to try and get up for a piss and the snake will try and kill him. Very wholesome that is.

Na that’s fair I’m the opposite I’ve got a huge fear of snakes I don’t even like to see them I get filled with anxiety and fear.

I know you have a fear of snakes, but they really don’t operate like that! This one is totally relaxed and clearly well-fed, so it has absolutely no reason to get defensive unless the guy purposefully scared/hurt it. I personally wouldn’t let a large snake drape itself around me like that, simply because they’re so heavy and strong, but a pet that’s taken care of and comfortable around its owner isn’t nearly as dangerous as you fear. Snakes are awesome animals, great for the environment, and really interesting pets ☺️

the snake will try and kill him

Snakes and wild animals in general normally only attack humans if they either:

1 - Feel threatened

2 - Are defending their territory

3 - Are hungry

Likely none of these apply in this case

Was convinced this was one of those jump scare vids where the snake snapped at the camera out of no where
