Hilarious User Reactions

Users have been seen sharing their shock and amusement over the video. Let's take a look at some of their most hilarious reactions.

Hunger changes people (via @iikagaii / X)

Hunger can drive humans to great lengths to satisfy their cravings, and this might explain why the kid tried to bite the snake’s head, according to this user’s theory. If only his parents had given him some food earlier, he might not have mistaken the snake for a giant candy cane.

Only a toddler would do this (via @thahumorguy / X)

Every adult knows better than to mess with the king of bites itself. But leave it to a toddler to be fearless (and reckless) enough to give it a try! Also to be fair, "snake" does sound awfully close to "snack!"

Snakes over puppies (via @marBr04644288 / X)

As this user humorously points out, little kids are so simple-minded that they'll be terrified of puppies, the friendliest creatures in the world, and yet fearlessly play with a snake, ignoring the fact that its venom could kill a person in minutes.

Not a vegan (via @investors_keep / X)

It seems this kid has already made up his mind at a young age that veganism isn’t for him. In fact, he’s skipped right past chicken and fish - straight to snakes!

Cute little poisonous toy (via @thoufee_10 / X)

As this user points out, the kid probably thought that the snake was just a fun-shaped toy. In a way, you could call a snake a toy considering how it makes you play with death!

What were you thinking Dad? (via @Myawoman / X)

A valid question indeed - why was the dad so close to the snake with his kid? It’s not the kind of animal you’d think of as “petting zoo” material!

The video of the toddler trying to bite the snake's head may have gone viral and entertained the internet, but the dad might have some serious explaining to do when the mom sees this!
