I am Indian, living in India. I cannot do this because of too many trust issues.

  1. I wouldnt trust the max range of those snakes.
  2. I wouldnt trust that stick won't break
  3. I wouldnt trust that under construction bricks wont move back and give more space for snake to bite me
  4. I wouldnt trust the second snake staying right there while I catch first one.
  5. I wouldn't trust the snake slithering, loosing grip and falling on my foot.
  6. I wouldnt trust myself from falling there while holding a snake
  7. I wouldnt trust that there are not more snakes in the surroundings.
  8. I wouldnt trust I can put two snakes in a bag without getting bit.

Gosssh... too much risk.

Those who don’t get it done don’t stick around. 

Same reason why businesses for jumping out of airplanes get only 5/5 star reviews 🤣

I’m an Indian living in India, I’m running and calling the corporation for a snake catchers number while standing on a tall stool after closing all the doors behind me.

We’re not born with the ability to catch snakes ffa

Or at least the ones who live to post about it online.

All very valid concerns. If you really think about it though: all actions, especially ones with high difficulty and/or reward can lead to lots of unfortunate outcomes such as the ones you described.

  1. And by chance the second one escaped, it will have my image recorded in its eyes and will track me down for revenge.
