Can someone please answer this question. Why do people refer to snakes/alligators,etc as animals? I was always under the assumption that they are reptiles. Just asking 🤷🏼♀️
Snakes are not pets. When will humans stop trying to make everything subject to them. All living creatures will eventually return to their natural instincts for survival. Snakes don't need people to protect them. The creator gave natural survival instincts. This is a lesson learned the hard way. Snake were created to bruise man heels can we were bruise his head.
What's wrong with these people.. THEY ARE CALLED WILD ANIMALS FOR A REASON… And that REASON ALONG SHOULD KEEP YOU AWAY FROM THEM
He was cuddling with it.
When nature fights back❤️ I hope the snake is okay.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣these animal lovers Care more for animals and wish the worst for their fellow humans. Let's just say nature took its course.
Hmmm… Kind of rare for an adult to be constricted to death by a snake. This was either intentional or foolish.
LESSON: If you are going to let a 15ft constrictor wrap itself around your neck, you may die.
Send that reptile to Chinese restaurant
No sympathy for this fool
Snacks win 🏆
that's why people should not have undomesticated wild animals as pet
Guess I'd be killing a snake instead of the other way around
Oh, please. Snakes are wild serpents . Smmh
Cant have a wild reptile let alone a 15ft snake in your home.
mi primo El Chilango es un estupido.
"Wraps itself around his neck". I believe that's what our serpentine friends are so inclined towards. Why keep these things as pets? Wildlife does not belong in someone's home.
They claim the snakes were abused. They were not made to be pets,abused or not. It's sad he lost his life.
When “man” is so stupid that he thinks he can own wild animals, and be immune to their natural instincts!
Can’t trust a snake 🐍
The chicken was laughing at the animal kidnapper.
A snake is a snake, people be careful
Never trust a snake.
Boa Constrictors are 8-10 foot Animals. Unheard of one to reach a size of 18 foot. VERY RARE even for a Burmese Python to reach that size.
Those snakes should be killed
It was just a snake hug.
Tragic
Some animals belong in the wild.
Ops
God bless his beautiful soul🙏
suicide clearly, by snake
Again……….. Darwin smiles.
It's especially tragic when people who work in animal rescue die helping one of their animals.
😞 sooo sad for him. However, you can’t domesticate a snake and certain animals!!!
Don’t trust any snake 🐍
Since the BEGINNING OF TIME, snakes have been DISLOYAL creatures, and then humans decided to KEEP THEM AS PETS?? This snake did what SNAKES DO….PERIOD!! Humans are STUPID…..🤨
Shouldn't have had a pet snake,you think!
Wraps around neck? Yeah…snakes do that.
Rip
It's a baby snake that did the damaged!
A SNAKE is a SNAKE…they’re not your FRIENDLY PETS, they don’t deserve to live in a HOME…just imagine if this was an innocent CHILD….🥲🥲🥲
FINALLY HE LEARNED HIS LESSON.
Why do people keep calling this a "boa constrictor"? It's not. The BCIs which are the majority of pet boas are not capable of killing someone.
No step on snek 🐍
While some people love and treat these animals with the adequate care that they need, let's be honest about how way too many people that shouldn't have these pets end up treating these animals like prisoners. This is a sad story that this man who rescued these animals and gave them a second chance past away while doing something kind for them. There needs to be way more awareness about the ethical responsibility of owning a pet regardless of if it's a dog, a snake, or a goldfish. Too many people think animals are "dumb" creatures that don't understand much at all and are devoid of feelings; they all feel pain, fear, depression, anxiety, and they can be deprived of feeling comfort, safety, satisfaction, peace, and even love.
Sad. This man was doing a good thing. Just a rare and freak accident.
I don't feel bad for the big dummy!
No such thing as a pet snake 🐍 Now please make it roll over please people
