Last month, a video was doing rounds on the Internet that involved a man and a beautiful rainbow snake. In the video, a rainbow snake is seen slithering and wrapping around the man's body, while the snake's handler and others around him watch the scene unfold. The video was shared by an Instagram user Jay Brewer, who is a zookeeper. The video shows Brewer, who introduces a multi-hued snake named MyLove and takes it out of a box. With the assistance of two other people, he then transports the reptile into a house. They then gently place the snake on a blindfolded man sleeping on the floor, as seen in the video.

Take a look at the video:
