A video of a man riding a motorcycle with a snake coiled around his wrist has taken social media by storm. The clip, posted on Instagram by the handle ‘just.see0810’, has already crossed over one million views. The exact location is not confirmed, but the vehicle’s number plate hints at Madhya Pradesh.

In the video, the man rides confidently, with the snake slithering around his hand and its head tightly held. What added to the drama was a bold phrase scrawled on the back of the bike: “Devil calls me dad!”

The surreal footage stunned netizens. Some suggested the man could be a snake catcher or charmer, given how casually he handled the reptile. However, it’s still unclear whether the snake was alive or not during the ride.

‘India Is Not For Beginners,’ Says Internet

The video left social media users stunned and amused in equal measure. One viewer wrote, “Back of the bike…DEVIL CALLS ME DAD,” while another reacted, “Legends seeing dialogue.”

One comment read, “I’m telling again India is not for beginners,” as another added, “Devil calls me dad and snake in hand.”

A particularly baffled user questioned, “How are some people this chill doing some of the most bizarre things? Like how is that man so calmly riding a bike while a snake is wrapped around his hand like that? This is just crazy.”

Woman’s Snake-Handling Skills Go Viral Too

In a separate incident, another viral video from Maharashtra’s Kolhapur showed a woman rescuing a snake from a shop. The video, shared by Instagram user ‘shweta_wildliferescuer’, captured the woman safely removing the reptile from the store’s inventory. Her courage earned praise online, with many calling her a hero.
