The video has sparked mixed reactions from social media users. While many found the incident hilarious and filled the comment sections with laughing emojis, others questioned why the man was chasing the snake in the first place.

Experts advise staying away from snakes
Wildlife experts generally advise people not to chase, provoke or attempt to harm snakes. Even non-venomous snakes may bite if they feel threatened, while venomous species can cause serious injuries.
Experts recommend maintaining a safe distance and contacting trained snake rescuers or local wildlife authorities if a snake is found in a residential area instead of trying to handle the situation alone.
Video keeps social media talking
As the clip continues to spread across different platforms, it has triggered a wider conversation about human interactions with wildlife. While many viewers continue to treat the video as comedy, others have used it to remind people that disturbing wild animals can have dangerous consequences.
The viral clip serves as a reminder that a few moments of risky behaviour can quickly capture the internet’s attention, but they can also put both humans and wildlife in unnecessary danger.
