An individual wrote, “In captivity (as pets in a vivarium), sometimes snakes aren't able to fully shed their skin, leaving small portion of old skin sticking to it and would require human intervention to fully remove it. But that's not the way to handle or bath the snake.”

A second added, “The new age Khatron ke Khiladi.”

“Oh my God,” expressed another.

A fourth shared, “This looks terrifying.”

This isn't the first time that someone was seen giving a bath to a snake. Earlier, animal rescuer Sintu shared a video of two snakes in a backyard. The man was seen giving the snakes a bath by pouring water on them from a bucket.
