For those who harbor a fear of snakes, watching the video might be a true test of nerves. In the footage, the fearless individual is seen trying to pacify the massive serpent, reaching out to grab it. However, what follows is a hair-raising moment as the snake, instead of calming down, retaliates with a fierce attack. Quick reflexes on the part of the man allow him to narrowly dodge the aggressive assault, emerging unscathed from the perilous situation.

The video has garnered significant attention, amassing over  137,000 likes on various social media platforms. As expected, the online community had a mixed array of reactions to the heart-stopping encounter.

Commenters flooded the post with diverse sentiments. Some expressed sheer terror, with one user commenting, "Scary so much," while another shared, "That reptile looks majestic, but I don't wanna face it in real life. My blood will run cold for sure."

However, not everyone viewed the video with trepidation. Admirers of the man's bravery commended him, with one user stating, "Nice work," and another posting, "Magnificent king." On the flip side, some raised concerns about the man's safety, emphasizing the inherent danger of such close encounters with formidable creatures. One commenter wrote, "So dangerous even to see."
