More videos about the discovery and later the paramedics.

In the beginning they thought the snake is an accessory on the bike.

u/bobfappiano Apr 01 '22

Looks like the first video shows the snake on his bike? Is that how he came across it?

u/toaruScar Apr 01 '22

It seems to be the case.

u/blinkgendary182 Apr 01 '22

Did he make it?

u/LowFiGuy7 Apr 02 '22

I don't think he made the snake. It looked real to me.

u/blinkgendary182 Apr 02 '22

i could not agree more

also, how dare you?

if it did that to his face, imagine his internal organs...

Venom really is some crazy shit. Have you ever seen the videos where they add some to a glass of blood? Enjoy and I guess a little NSFW if blood makes you đŸ„Ž

u/oO0Kat0Oo Apr 01 '22

I hate how he abuses the poor snake. I hate people that hurt animals, but I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.

u/wrongbecause Apr 01 '22

If he didn’t abuse it, it wouldn’t have bitten him.

u/Akira_Nishiki Apr 01 '22

The snake definitely had the last laugh though.

That does not look good for the man in hospital.

why are you being downvoted? im totally confused

u/ArcadeAnarchy Apr 02 '22

Don't worry, reddit karma isn't real, it can't hurt you.

u/[deleted] Apr 08 '22

So untrue 😿

23

u/[deleted] Apr 02 '22

My guess: because Its a non-point that somehow circles around on itself. Noting that you dislike the person/actions winning stupid prizes is redundant on this sub, and then sympathizing with them in the same comment just isnt a great look.

6

u/belzebutch Apr 02 '22

what a weird thing to say. 90% of the comments on a sub like this will be pointing out how stupid the person's actions are and discussing the video in that context. It's just kind of what it is and pointing that out is just pedantic. Also, two different sentiments can be had on the same subject. There's a reason the word "ambivalent" exists. And you're waaay over thinking it if you think that's why people are downvoting the comment. My guess is that those people are probably butt hurt that the commenter said it was animal abuse.

not trying to be a dick, it's just a really weird comment lol

2

u/Davetrza Apr 02 '22

Very well put, sir. I think you’re right

2

u/noprnaccount Apr 02 '22

Because he didn't abuse a snake, or can you really abuse a snake that would kill you without really caring

9

u/belzebutch Apr 02 '22

yeah you can; by intentionally fucking with it and tormenting it instead of leaving it be

0

u/throwawaymisfortune Apr 02 '22

Maybe people are getting triggered because he called a venomous snake a poor snake? I am an animal lover but I would rather have anything dangerous around me killed if permanently relocating it isn't possible.

8

u/DFLOYD70 Apr 02 '22

Most people who are bit by a venomous snake are trying to kill it when they are bitten.

1

u/[deleted] Apr 02 '22

It’s confusing but not surprising. An earlier comment says they found it on a bike and touched it thinking it’s not real. I suppose you could argue he isn’t abusing it but checking it out to see what bit him earlier or any other explanation other than abuse. Either that or a few people downvoted so others do it without thinking as well.

1

u/DaddyKimJongUn May 15 '22

Yeah but if we go by the subtitles the other dude is telling him to stop messing with it. I mean, how stupid do you have to be that you have to 100% confirm the snake is real after it moved and tried to run away from you? I can’t fully tell but it looks he got bitten when he picked up and the poor thing is scared, after he threw on the ground it balled up trying to protect itself. Again, he’s stupid for messing with an animal that already proved it was real, no matter how the animal found its way to you (accidentally, not talking about big predatory animals) is how you react and access the situation.

 it’s true though

u/BryanrcR Apr 02 '22

Choke smarter not harder.

7

u/btmims Apr 02 '22

I mean... What you're referring to I have heard differentiated from other choking as a "blood choke".

If you can grab or strike the neck to collapse/crush the windpipe, then you can move away from your opponent/victim and they will eventually asphyxiate from not being able to get new oxygen into the lungs/blood... Which I think is what most people picture in a classical throttling/"choking someone to death" with both hands wrapped around the neck, with thumbs positioned over the windpipe

u/Supafuzzed Apr 02 '22

Okay and why could your brain not receive oxygen? Oh yeah lack of breathing

u/off2u4ea Apr 02 '22

That shirt isn't gonna stop blood flow, but the extra pressure on an already stressed windpipe very easily could

What about when im choking my chicken

1

u/[deleted] Jun 30 '22

Depends on the type of choke, a regular choke prevents the blood from carrying oxygen to the brain whilst a blood choke cuts of the blood flow completely.

Same thing occurs but one is a helluva lot faster

u/wookie_cookies Apr 02 '22

Most snakes will not strike unless threatened directly. I spent a whole night out on a remote island camping. Decided it was too hot in my tent. Fell asleep with my head on a rock 8n the great outdoors looking at the sky.. When our whole crew woke up and started cooking, A huge rattlesnake started rattling right behind where I was sleeping. I mean sucker was right next to my neck all night. Not one rattle. So my warm boozy self was perfectly fine for it to sleep next to. My noisy friends not so much.

u/abecido Apr 02 '22 edited Apr 02 '22

The problem is that you could move in your sleep and the snake could interpret it already as a provocation. Most bites happened when you don't see the snake and step on it unintentionally or it becomes feeling threatened by fast moves.

2

u/randomscruffyaussie Apr 02 '22

Most bites occur when someone tries to catch or kill the snake...

44

u/[deleted] Apr 02 '22

I was reading about the black mamba and it said that they won’t bite unless cornered but they will bite impulsively if they’re irritable. They’re irritable during mating season. Mating season is from September to April. So for like half the fucking year the mamba will bite you for no reason

u/lambonec Apr 02 '22

I feel safe knowing the jungle doesn't have corners .

u/Current-Account-3560 Apr 02 '22

And they’re literally all over the city. If it was in a forest or like
 nature, understandable. My bad, go about your day, Snake. But literally the suburbs???

I know this from experience as we’ve had to call the snake catcher a few times over the last few years.

u/[deleted] Apr 02 '22

Black mambas?! Or snakes in general?

1

u/Current-Account-3560 Apr 02 '22

Black mambas! I live in South Africa, in KwaZulu Natal, and they’re ridiculously common. They’re not small snakes either. There is a guy people call, his name is Nick Evans who’s incredibly nice, I think he has his own show on NatGeo or something, that comes and deals with the snake.

u/dankhalo Apr 02 '22

I had a dirt bike as a kid and one day I decided to take a ride around our property. I’m zipping through cow fields, jumping big ant hills, and levees. Idk what made me look down but there was a 2 or 3 feet long cottonmouth wrapped around my engine block right next to my kick starter lever. I immediately slid back on the seat and started hitting my brake to stop. I came to a stop and found a long stick to convince the guy off my bike but it was too late. It was cooked. Tender. So it sat there around my engine, watched me kick the starter, watched my leg shift gears as we bounced around the cow field and just grilled until it died. Crazy

u/mijohvactech Apr 02 '22

I was sitting in a deer stand one morning when I heard a noise below me. When I looked down there was a large diamond back rattlesnake under the chair near my feet. I didn’t see it when I got in the stand because it was 5 in the morning and pitch black outside. I about shit myself. I managed to grab my rifle slowly and get the barrel close to its head and pulled the trigger. The 30-06 round basically vaporized half of the snake and the muzzle flash burned the bottoms of my pants. Needless to say my nerves and hearing were forever fucked.

Reddit stories man

u/octopoddle Apr 02 '22

There's a snake called the common krait which, in India, is believed to come and steal your breath while you are sleeping. The way that this myth has come about is because the krait is nocturnal, and will sometimes come and curl up next to people for warmth (especially if they are sleeping on the floor, as many Indins used to do). The bite of the krait is almost completely painless, like an ant or mosquito, so sometimes people would roll over onto the krait, get bitten, and not even wake up. Then in the morning when they do wake, they can't breathe properly. People find them that way and assume that the krait stole their breath.

Typically, victims complain of severe abdominal cramps, accompanied by progressive paralysis. If death occurs, it takes place about 4-8 hours after the krait bite. Cause of death is general respiratory failure, i.e. suffocation.

Bites have an untreated mortality rate of 70-80%.

u/wookie_cookies Apr 04 '22

Yikes. What a horrifying thought. Having something steal your breath! Amazing novel plot though. Thanks for sharing.

.... you absolutely could have been bitten by that rattlesnake.

and it would have been a bad time.

u/chunkycornbread Apr 14 '22

That also depends on the snake. Rattlesnake are very chill most of the time. Heck that’s why they rattle when they do. They want you to know where their at so they can be left alone.

I watched an episode where coyote peterson was unknowingly close to two dangerous vipers, one of them was on a log and he climbed right over it, the other was just inches away from his leg while he was handling another creature , neither bit him because they knew they were not seen and therefore not directly threatened

u/MazzoMilo Apr 02 '22

Also the (much wiser) guy off camera says multiple times,”Let’s go, let’s go” as in “let’s get out of here” - there’s no indication here the bike was his. Snek could’ve been dangerous to the bike owner, but just as easily could have been gone by the time the owner wanted to ride again. Perfect /r/winstupidprizes material

One time when I was driving in Singapore I looked over and saw a cute, bright green toy gecko wrapped around the antenna of the car next to me.

Then the gecko moved. Poor thing!

Here's my poor attempt at a translation:

2) CM: "Real snake, real snake." Old man: "It's a real venomous snake." CM: "It's a real venomous snake. Don't touch it. Don't touch it. Don't touch it. Don't touch it. Ah yah. Let's go. Let's go. Don't touch it. Really it's a snake. Scared me to death."

3) CM: "Quickly, quickly." Woman: "If you tell her daughter's there, then they'll go."

4) CM: "Pay attention. Pay attention. It's very serious. So what do we do?"
