Boils down to lack of respect, putting a snake that size around your neck is as brilliant as sticking your head in an alligators mouth. I had a neighbor that told me if some one starts out a conversation with “Watch This!” Something stupid is about to happen. It’s held true for the most part. Knowing the risks and doing it anyway seems far to common these days.
What is sad is that bad decision effects not only him but his loved ones. It makes snake owners look bad and creates an environment of misinformation and hatred towards an animal that probably was just holding on out of insecurity.
I hope this guys family can get through this but it really is a senseless death and very preventable. I didn’t down load the app to read it but I am truely sad that his family is dealing with this and that picture is tough to swallow.
