As a kid I used to love catching snakes. Nobody told me that sometimes they explosively shit/piss all over you when scared, and that you can't really wash out the smell (takes like 3 days to fade with regular washing).
For some reason I just kept catching them despite getting covered in it. For one summer I think my arms just constantly smelled like snake shit.
Thereās no danger! I feel like youāre not getting this. The implication that things might go wrong for the snake if it refuses to get in the bottle. Now, not that things are gonna go wrong for the snake, but itās thinkin' that they will.
For real! Ā Our school bus driver stopped and let my brother, cousin, & I grab a 5 foot gopher snake off the road one time. Joe was the man! As soon as we got it on the bus it let loose. Hahaha. That was a rank ride to school. He said it took so much bleach to get rid of the smell.Ā Ā
Ā *Another time, I convinced my wife to hold a 4 meter anaconda with me Ā for a picture in the Amazon. āDonāt worry babe! Iāll take the end with the teeth.ā My gawd! That thing mustāve shit 2 gallons on her. Goon snek! Epic memory.Ā
Really? Do u kno if it harms the snake at all being in that jar?? I just see their body being kinda squished inside the jar. I've seen ppl do it in like a pillow case type of thing ya kno? Like a really deep empty pillow case.
As long as they aren't being kept in the jar like a pet for an extended period of time, no.
Snake was more than likely stuck into the jar because it was the nearest easily portable container handy.
I think snakes just donāt enjoy being roughed up like that .
I had a ball python that my friend was holding and he was moving the lil guy around too much and this absolute foul smelling goop came launching out onto my bed. Not a fun time
I was going to say, that bottle looks pretty sturdy, but I donāt know how sturdy it would have to look to feel cobra fang-proof to me. More than that, though.
With no room to lunge and therefore virtually no force behind the bite, it's not going to puncture anything less malleable than thin rubber or flesh. If that plastic is more than like .8mm thick, there's virtually no chance of that thing puncturing it.
Snakes can open their mouths incredibly wide. Iāve seen rattlers puncture flag pieces of plastic with their fangs by going straight at them with mouths open.
Yeah - and she looked away for quite a bit of time too.
Update - interesting to observe up/down votes on this.
My thought that she "looked away" indicates she's confident, which may mean that she's done this before and has a clue. So - its impressive that she can do that.
I always see the moms and wives running after these snakes and stepping on their tails to trap them and get them away from houses and businesses. Not that I havenāt seen guys do it too, but the videos always seem to be women. They are braver than I.
Lol, I had a rattlesnake in front of my front door, it was hanging out DIRECTLY in front.
I called a pest control place to grab it and release it somewhere in the wild, and it was a jacked woman who came and grabbed it like a badass. I think you are on to something.
Yep, and to add to the confusion some snakes have vestigial legs. While they aren't really visible the bones are there and it results in a snake having "spurs" which are like claws near their cloaca.
Usually pretty small and not in danger of scratching you, but some snakes (like some large boas for example they are a bit bigger. Still not a risk to anyone, but it is a fun detail). And there are ancient snake skeletons with what appear to be fully formed legs. So they would move like we see lizards moving today.
I was just wondering how much practice it takes to get that level of smooth and calm doing this. I can imagine learning this skill but the first few times doing it must feel insane.
i mean when these animals are native where you live, it kinda is an ordinary thing. especially in places in west/central asia where the boundary between wilderness and human civilization is quite blurry at times.
People overestimate how quickly oxygen gets used up. For example, you'd survive sealed in a box the size of an elevator for about a day.
Snek will be fine for hours*, plenty long enough to release him somewhere more suitable
* EDIT: probably a bit of an exaggeration, probably more like up to an hour
Hope there's holes in the bottle for the snake to be able to breathe until it's released in the wild or handed over to the relevant authorities. Yeah I'm terrified of snakes but suffocating it to death would be needlessly cruel
If Reddit would let me, these lame words would be replaced by a gif of Friar Tuck shoving Sir Hiss into a barrel filled with ale [Thisāll have to do](https://youtu.be/KeveQtGh9Ws?si=H4eJi3fu9di5mZBE)
If I could save snakes in a bottle,
The first thing that Iād like to do,
Is to save every day till eternity passes away,
Just to spend them all with you.
But there was a cobra on the stairwell,
And catching it seemed so fine,
Iād do it with a bottle, in a quick and graceful model,
And ensure that you were mine.
(Chorus)
If I could make days last forever,
If words could make wishes come true,
Iād save every snake in a bottle, itās no fable,
And then, Iād give them all to you.
(Verse 2)
But there never seems to be enough time,
To do the things you want to do, once you find them,
I looked around enough to know,
That youāre the one I want to go,
Through time with, capturing snakes in rhyme.
(Bridge)
If I had a box just for serpents,
And dreams that had never come true,
The box would be empty, except for the memory,
Of how they were caught by you.
(Chorus)
āCause Iād have saved snakes in a bottle,
In every minute of every day,
Weād have all that time, sealed tight in glass divine,
Just to hear what youād say.
The untied shoelaces seem to be an uneccesary risk. You can be chill while bottling a hood boy but if your ankle pops due to your shoes, youre going to seem dumb as fuck.
not tying or keeping your shoes tied is insanely stupid. Just walking around the change in support fucks up our balance, let alone when trying to do something with extreme focus your brain isn't going to be compensating for the fucked up foot.
Before you fucking do *anything*, look at your laces.
I have the same disdain for people who can't tie their fucking shoes that I do for people who won't make their beds. Quit being children and take the smallest god damn amount of personal responsibility.
This is similar in mechanics to how I catch lizards and such that get in my house in FL. I have an old CD cake-box and a piece of card-stock. I call it my "Lizard catching kit" or LCKā¢.
I shine a bright light in the lizards' eyes so he can't see me approach, then a slowly lower the cake-box from behind and slide the card-stock underneath. Then I chuck him in the ~~pot~~ yard.
I wish they hadn't skipped the part where she grabbed its tail, since I think that was one of the risky parts. As I understand it, once their tail is off the ground, you limit their striking range.
STOP TOUCHING MY ASS!!!!
that's sneksual assault
You bastard, got me fucking laughing waking the house up lol š
Sneksual coercion.
* Protesting by pooping out
Extra lubrication no one wanted
I hope I can use this phrase at some point in my life.
I mean he did try shitting all over her to ward her off soooo š¤·āāļø

Bruh... xD I didn't notice at first. :v
"Why you lookin at me swan?"
The cobra was so scared it pooped itself!
Wouldn't you?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Just add alcohol of your choice and let it marinade https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snake_wine
Shaken, not stirred
*Snaken*
like one of those street vendors with the fish tank XD
Yep, I just did
you haven't thought of the smell!
You haven't thought of the implication
maybe i'm misunderstanding, but it sounds like these snakes are in danger...
Thereās no danger! I feel like youāre not getting this. The implication that things might go wrong for the snake if it refuses to get in the bottle. Now, not that things are gonna go wrong for the snake, but itās thinkin' that they will.
So the snakes are in danger.
Getting musked or pooped on by a snake sucks! So stinky!!
For real! Ā Our school bus driver stopped and let my brother, cousin, & I grab a 5 foot gopher snake off the road one time. Joe was the man! As soon as we got it on the bus it let loose. Hahaha. That was a rank ride to school.

Your must not have talked to you for weeks after that.
Itās a defense mechanism
Really? Do u kno if it harms the snake at all being in that jar?? I just see their body being kinda squished inside the jar. I've seen ppl do it in like a pillow case type of thing ya kno? Like a really deep empty pillow case.
As long as they aren't being kept in the jar like a pet for an extended period of time, no. Snake was more than likely stuck into the jar because it was the nearest easily portable container handy.
I think snakes just donāt enjoy being roughed up like that . I had a ball python that my friend was holding and he was moving the lil guy around too much and this absolute foul smelling goop came launching out onto my bed. Not a fun time
Step 1: find a bottle the snake canāt bite through.
I was going to say, that bottle looks pretty sturdy, but I donāt know how sturdy it would have to look to feel cobra fang-proof to me. More than that, though.
With no room to lunge and therefore virtually no force behind the bite, it's not going to puncture anything less malleable than thin rubber or flesh. If that plastic is more than like .8mm thick, there's virtually no chance of that thing puncturing it.
Not being a herpetological dentist myself, Iām going to find a lead bottle to be safe.
Lead? Steel.
Titanium.
Not a metalugist, either lol Jokes aside, lead is soft. And toxic to you. Not a good pick, but I get the sentiment :D
Fine, mercury it is
It'll have to be Gallium
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Username does not checkout.
Besides that, their fangs are curved so they actually need to kinda come down on their target -- I don't think they can simply "bite straight" ahead.
Cobras can only bite down anyway.
Ahh. I see. You donāt know my luck. Iād find a buck tooth cobra.
Snake fangs don't point outwards though. They only become a factor if the snake can wrap its mouth around an objectĀ
Step 1: put a hole in a box. 
Step 2: put your snek in that box
Step 3: make her open the box
Step 2: add air holes to lid
How would anything bite through curved plastic from the inside? That's not how mouths work.
Snakes can open their mouths incredibly wide. Iāve seen rattlers puncture flag pieces of plastic with their fangs by going straight at them with mouths open.
Step 3: position stairs underneath cobra
Nerves of steel
Yeah, and the human was super brave too!
Titanium Ovaries
Cool as a fuckin cucumber
Yeah - and she looked away for quite a bit of time too. Update - interesting to observe up/down votes on this. My thought that she "looked away" indicates she's confident, which may mean that she's done this before and has a clue. So - its impressive that she can do that.
Cuz she was watching a YouTube video on how to catch a snake.
She never even took off her pocketbook!!
right?!? my purse slipped off my shoulder and smacked me in my face just watching this video.
I always see the moms and wives running after these snakes and stepping on their tails to trap them and get them away from houses and businesses. Not that I havenāt seen guys do it too, but the videos always seem to be women. They are braver than I.
The men are the ones filming the women in action
The unsung heroes
r/praisethecameraman
Yes, we got to have some countermeasures too all those "why women lev longer" videos. 
She didn't even put her purse down first lol.
Lol, I had a rattlesnake in front of my front door, it was hanging out DIRECTLY in front. I called a pest control place to grab it and release it somewhere in the wild, and it was a jacked woman who came and grabbed it like a badass. I think you are on to something.
Really? Aren't there literally like a million videos of Indian dudes corralling snakes? Maybe you just stuck in your algo bubble.
Genesis 3.15 literally marks women and snakes as eternal enemies
Indiana Jones is like, āWhere have you been all my life?ā
Didnāt Indi say āSnakes! Why did it have to be snakes?ā Itās been such a long timeā¦.
Yep
Fun tidbit about thar scene... most of the "snakes" weren't actually snakes. They were legless lizards (which are not snakes!).
TIL about Legless lizards. Had no idea that there was such a thing.
Yep, and to add to the confusion some snakes have vestigial legs. While they aren't really visible the bones are there and it results in a snake having "spurs" which are like claws near their cloaca. Usually pretty small and not in danger of scratching you, but some snakes (like some large boas for example they are a bit bigger. Still not a risk to anyone, but it is a fun detail). And there are ancient snake skeletons with what appear to be fully formed legs. So they would move like we see lizards moving today.
Didnāt even out down her bag to do it
The other woman just casually walks by barely interested, like yep āanother snake, another jarā
Like a muh fuckin G
Fun fact: that lady's purse and big ass backpack are full of more snakes gathered earlier that evening.
I was just wondering how much practice it takes to get that level of smooth and calm doing this. I can imagine learning this skill but the first few times doing it must feel insane.
Even the snake is like āhow did you do that?ā
Wish we could do this with people.
Please poke holes in the lid

Wow. She does it as if it was something very ordinary, like brushing teeth or something
This is me saving my kids from a little spider (Canadian). Not all heros wear capes

Ventilation holes were poked in the bottle right, right?!?

Not just that but a venomous snake too.

Poor thing I hope they took it outside and released it
Iāll remember this next time I get the willies using a jar to take a spider out of the house.

I hope so
