Crocodile Hunter's 2-year-old Helps Dad Move Giant Snake Out Of Garden, Leaves Netizens Divided [Video]

A video of a 2-year-old boy handling a two-meter python like a professional snake catcher all the while helping his dad move the reptile out of their garden has gone viral on social media.

Matt Wright, a famous crocodile hunter and wildlife expert in Australia, filmed his toddler son, Banjo, grabbing the tail of the giant snake with both hands and pulling it onto the grass behind him, Canberra Times reported.

Wright hosts Outback Wrangler on National Geographic that features capturing and relocating dangerous animals such as crocodiles, snakes and wild buffalo. He shared the video in his Instagram account with the caption “Learning the ropes."

The video shows Banjo attempting to pull an Olive Python, a non-poisonous snake, across the grass while it coils around a wooden pole. Wright proudly encourages his brave son saying: “Pull him out buddy, pull him out. Pull him over to the bushes,” and helps him unwrap the snake.

The boy then drops the snake's tail and runs back to his father saying: "Oh no! Oh no! Run! Run!" As Banjo gets close to the snake's head, Wright redirects him to the snake's tail. "Come back, he'll bite you. You've got to go for the tail. Grab the tail, two hands," he says in the video.

Meanwhile, the video has fetched more than 378,000 views and netizens are divide on their opinion about the same.

Many viewers came in support of Wright and appreciated his efforts in giving the child a close experience with nature.

"If you have a pool, you teach kids to swim at a young age. The top end of Australia is full of wildlife like that so he's teaching his kid, safe habits which I think is bloody amazing," a user commented.

However, some viewers accused Wright of putting his child in danger for the sake of views on social media. Even though the snake in the video was nonvenomous, many people raised concerns that the experience might prompt the toddler to pull any snake when he sees it next time.

"Normally I love your videos but I’m not a fan of this behavior. No need to stress the animal just for an Instagram video," a user commented.
