Gender reveal parties have made headlines for being bizarre or downright risky, and a video involving a snake has made it to that list. This footage shows a man poking a snake to pull off a stunt, which could have turned extremely dangerous very quickly. The man forced a snake to lunge at him to burst a balloon he was holding in his mouth.
“Don’t try this at home, y’all,” an Instagram user posted while sharing the video. The clip shows a snake kept on a table with a man standing in front of the reptile, holding a black balloon in his mouth. The expectant mother is seen standing by his side.

Now THAT'S a party.” The X user referred to the wildfire which started after a smoke-generating pyrotechnic device ignited dry grass during a gender reveal party.
A few people, however, were amazed by the stunt. Just like this individual who wrote, “I’ve never heard of a gender reveal for a snake. Awesome.”
