Python attacks California zookeeper, terrifying video goes viral

“I take a risk so I can get the babies in the incubator where it’s safe… in this case, I had to take one for the team,” added Brewer.

The video featured a massive yellow python curled up around its eggs. When Brewer tries to move the snake’s head away with a metal clutch to take the eggs; it suddenly whips around and bites him in the face.

“Got it right in the face!,” Brewer says, after the attack.
