A video of a man picking up snakes with bare hands and throwing them in a nearby field has gone viral on social media.
The video opens with the snakes slithering on one side of a road. A man, without a care in the world, then jumps over the metal barrier to get to the other side. What happens next is beyond crazy. He starts picking up snakes and throws them in a field nearby as onlookers watch in shock.
With the 'Tick Tick Boom' song attached to the reel, it certainly does justice to the man's talent. A brave man, indeed!
The clip was shared by Earth Reels on Instagram.
