I don't know about y'all but I am extremely terrified of snakes. While I have people around me who are comparatively more comfortable with being in a snake's presence, I, on the other hand, am not one bit ready for something like this!
A viral video has surfaced on the internet that shows reptile enthusiast Brian Barczyk playing with some big-ass snakes. (Toes curling up now)
Barczyk goes by the name @snakebytestv on Instagram and posted the video on the social media platform. The video creator feeds them snakes with the help of a spoon and it looks like the reptiles are also quite comfortable in his presence. They wrap around his body and play along.?
Barczyk considers the creatures as his family. He picks up one huge snake and talks about how he used to do it earlier with so much more ease. But now, since the snake has grown in size, he struggles to lift it upon his shoulders.?
'ALL MY GIANT SNAKES IN ONE VIDEO!!' reads the caption of the video.?
The video has amassed more than 23,500 views on Instagram and people took to the comments section to appreciate Barczyk's love for the reptiles.?
One user wrote, 'Gemma, jewel, precious, lovey, beauty, Dot, Dottie the hottie, Dorothy. All great name choices.
Another commented, 'That’s one way to get a workout in for the day.'
'As someone who has had 5 back surgeries, I urge you to PLEASE wear lumbar support of some kind when lifting those beauties! We all want you to stay healthy Brian and it doesn't take much to ruin your back,' wrote a third user.
Apparently, Barczyk has been collecting snakes since 1989 and has also formed an organisation called The Reptile Army. He constantly rescues snakes and shares reptile-related information on social media.?He works at a reptile zoo, The Reptarium in Utica city in the US state of Michigan.?
