When around snakes, one needs to be extra careful and watch their movements. This holds true even for experts and researchers who might deal with all kinds of snakes almost every day; otherwise, they can be attacked when they least expect it. This holds true in the case of Jay Brewer, a reptile expert. Recently, Brewer posted a video showcasing how he almost got attacked by a massive snake.

The video opens to show Brewer in a room with a snake in a box-like compartment. As he talks about it and holds a stick in front of the massive reptile, he moves his eyes away from his for a second. In an instant, the snake jumps towards his face and tries to attack him. Brewer is taken aback by the incident, but he is able to escape without injuries.

An individual wrote, "You're nothing but a food source to that critter. Whether it's a chicken or your head doesn't matter."

Another Instagram user, Fazilet Özekoğlu Özkan, commented, "Every living thing that we deprive of its nature will take its revenge one day."

"That was some serious reflexes there, mate - move like a butterfly," added user Coleyz.

A fourth posted, "Why do people keep breeding them when there are already way too many in places like Florida."
