Despite the snake appearing calm and seemingly enjoying the bath, many expressed concern over the risks involved in handling such a dangerous reptile.
This isn’t the first time such daring encounters with snakes have captured online attention. Similar videos surface occasionally, showcasing people interacting with wildlife in unexpected ways. Last year, another viral video showed a man serenely giving a bath to a massive cobra, stirring discussions about human-animal interactions and safety.
Indian Forest Service officer Susanta Nanda, who shared a similar video previously, cautioned against such actions, emphasizing that snakes have protective skin that naturally keeps them clean. The question remains: while these videos intrigue and entertain, should such close encounters with deadly snakes be encouraged or discouraged?
