A video showing a man removing a snake from his garage and releasing it into a grassy field has been shared online, prompting warnings from a snake expert about the dangers of untrained snake handling, despite some correct actions captured on camera.
The footage shows the man initially retreating into his house before returning to guide the snake into a plastic tube and later releasing it outdoors. A dog is also seen in the garage at the time of the encounter.
Mark Marshall, an environmental/snake expert, said while the situation ended without injury, the incident should not be used as an example for the public to follow.
