In the video, the man uses a long pair of tongs to hold the mouse and offer it to the snake. However, what should have been a controlled movement quickly goes awry when the snake, in its strike, bites the man’s hand instead of the mouse.
Although the snake is not venomous, the shock and pain from the bite are evident in the video, which has gained significant attention online.
In the comments, one user suggested that the snake might have missed its target unintentionally: “What’s interesting is that she probably didn’t mean to miss; snakes have poor vision and likely just missed the target,” they observed. Another joked: “Only vultures like dead animals.” A third user humorously added: “She just wanted to give a little kiss.”
