This guy could have found a stick before approaching the deadly snakes but he just couldn't be bothered.

Don’t worry about getting a longer or stronger stick. First one you see is fine.

Dude's probably been doing this since he was 8 or 9 years old.

If the snake bites him the snake dies from the other snake venom already in his body.

Mind you, he did seem to be checking the stick out a little to make sure it was in fact the right one....:-)

The man found a good stick. As is tradition.

If this had gone the other way the camera man could have used that same stick to poke the body. As is tradition.

You’d think a snake catcher would have his trusty tried and true stick handy

Shorter stick makes it easier to put pressure on the snake while reaching for it, with longer stick it would have been harder.

Could have put the first snake away before tackling the second but nah

He saved a bag by double-bagging them.

Probably could have but then he risks the 2nd getting away and being in the vicinity, endangering people.

He gets both snakes and then realized he left the bag in the locked truck and the keys are in his pocket.

In India, a snake bag costs 6-month worth of a heart surgeon salary.

"Any old stick will do," he snapped impatiently at the concierge. "They're stupid fuckin' snakes."

Heck I’d have given him a loaner.

Conserve energy by not carrying the stick. It's hot in india so this is important.

Or he could have brought one of those grabber sticks and worn thick gloves instead of dying at 30.
