A video of a little boy riding on a 20-foot python has quickly become a thriller on the internet as viewers express mixed feelings. While some people are outraged at the parents, others are amazed at the bravery of kid. In the footage filmed in the streets of northern Vietnam, the 3-year old identified as Truong was comfortable straddled on the giant reptile (huge enough to swallow an adult) – and seem happy with his ride.
The neighbourhood looks devasted with flood water and multiple reports said the snake is a family pet, kept at home in the province of Thanh Hoa. According to the boy’s aunt who confirmed the footage in an interview with a local media, the little boy truly enjoys playing with the almost 180-pound reptile.
“He is three years old and the python is 80kg. The family have had the python for four years as a pet and it is very gentle.It was a rainy day and the water flooded to the edge of the yard. So they put the python in there to play and relax,” she said
While in some part of the world people are just pals with scary giant snakes, it gets even more bizarre in Indonesia; the people actually roll with pythons. Barely a few weeks ago, a security guard reported killed an anaconda-size python that was blocking traffic as it crossed a road in Indonesia. It wasn’t an easy kill as he had to wrestle with the 23-foot reptile which savaged his arm.
A local media in the country said the officer named Robert Nababan was driving on a moped in Riau Province on the Indonesian island of Sumatra when he stumbled upon the snake. As he and other passers-by tried to move the huge predator off the road, it retaliated and sunk its razor-sharp teeth into Nababan’s arm while trying, as pythons do, to coil around the 37-year old. Lucky for him, he survived and the python end up strung up by thick rope from two pillars in a yard near where the deadly tussle took place – of course with gutsy kids riding it.
