However, a recent video posted on YouTube has left the netizens terrified yet confused. The clip shows the body of a snake lying on the floor, without its head, which may have been intentionally or accidentally cut off.

In the video, a man gently presses the snake's tail after grabbing it with a pair of scissors.
