The clip, which has since gained traction across social media platforms, captures the moment the enormous reptile coils tightly around the man’s upper body, leaving him visibly uncomfortable and struggling to breathe.

In the footage, which was posted by Sammy G Entertainment, the man remains standing as the snake winds itself more firmly around him, its muscular body pressing against his chest and shoulders. Despite his obvious distress, he does not attempt any sudden movements, possibly to avoid agitating the animal further.
