In the video, the man can be seen catching the snake. He holds the snake by its tail, while he holds a stick on the other hand. Followed by the man dropping the stick, partially unfolding his lungi and putting the snake inside his lungi’s fold, and walks away.

Reports reveal that the video is several years old.

Below is how the internet reacted:

All the snake wants to do is escape and keep away from Humans. Quite sad to see such videos and hope it was released in the wild, unharmed!!
