Spotting a snake can send shivers down the spine of many. Imagine, spotting the longest and one of the heaviest snakes on earth slithering through the walls of a building. It is terrifying, indeed and a video showing the giant intruder has gone viral on social media.
The clip shared by Indian Forest Service officer Susanta Nanda shows the giant reptile stretching long and slithering through a wall. As the camera pans, the enormous snake’s head is seen on the floor and its massive size may prompt anyone to skip a heartbeat.
Apparently, the reticulated python was spotted reaching out for its prey in Myanmar. “The longest & one of the heaviest snakes of planet. A Reticulated Python climbs the wall to reach out for its prey in Myanmar. Reticulated Python are constrictors and kill prey by squeezing them to death. The python’s squeezing force is about 14 PSI enough to kill human beings,” reads the caption of the clip.
Since being shared Wednesday, the clip has amassed more than 38,000 views on Twitter. Netizens were terrified and many shared their fears in the comments section.
A user commented, “Oh my! The size of it!!” Another user wrote, “OMG! I wouldn’t go anywhere near that thing!” A third user wrote, “It’s not Anaconda and not from South America. It’s from our neighbor country.. It reminds me Anaconda movie !”
