Viral Snake Video: Messing around with even well-domesticated animals or one's pet can turn ugly if ticked the wrong way, after all, no species is a fan of being pestered for absolutely no reason. However, this ‘reptile lover’ seemingly chose to test the same theory on one of the deadliest reptiles in the world; a rattlesnake. Yes, believe it or not, a video of the said man picking up a giant rattlesnake by its tail was shared on social media, which mostly did not impress netizens. What was further concerning was how the man did the stunt with his bare hands. The snake even took a few attacking stances, but seemingly ‘dropped’ the idea.
The video received many reactions after it went viral. Most people warned the man of the life-threatening risks that might cost him in exchange for the únwanted’ stunt, while the rest were stunned seeing the mammoth size of the snake.
The snake video was shared on Instagram, by the handle ‘Animal and Reptile Addict’. The post was captioned, “Monster Western Diamondback!” The video was shared 7 days ago and pulled more than 4K views from people.
Watch the viral video:
Taking to the comment section, people shared their take. “That's the biggest rattlesnake size I've ever seen, wow,” a user said. “Just why so when it does what it does don't be mad and want to kill it remember you violated,” added a second person. “You are going to get bit one day 'cause you're way too careless,” added another.
“Thank you. Seriously. I’ve saved this video for any time I am constipated,” wrote a fourth person. “Man looked like he could’ve struck if he wanted. What makes them shoot and what makes them not?” asked a netizen. “It has grown huge due to no one trying to kill it or hurt it. It’s had human contact before apparently, and is not very annoyed. It merely wants to go its way as it came—peacefully. Peace and long life Mr Rattler!” added another.
