Social media users react to snake video

The video left many viewers surprised, wondering how such a young boy could remain so composed with the reptile wrapped around his upper body.

Jerico Matangwe:

“Then the so-called harmless brown house snake decides to bite, and they discover it is the most venomous snake in the world and that the antivenom is not available.”

Dylan Brian:

“Round head, haha. That snake is not venomous. In fact, it’s a brown house snake that only hunts rats. Go find a snake with a triangular head, not a python. Check out a black mamba, green mamba, or boomslang.”

Richard Mbewe:

“Young boy, your village people love you so much, they don’t want to harm you. Me, I know my village people. I would have cried without even touching it.”

Kodwani Banda:

“Very true, it’s harmless. But wait until your village people visit you through the same harmless snake. Then you will understand why snakes don’t have legs.”

Grace Mpiya:

“I don’t think it’s completely harmless. It does bite, and the bite can be very painful. It may not kill you, but it can still require medical attention.”

Kunda Jonas:

“That’s how you know he’ll be a problem in the future, holding two snakes at once with absolutely no fear because he believes they are harmless.”
