A video from West Java, Indonesia, shows two children playing with a 20-foot-long reticulated python named Abo. The footage shows a boy sliding along the snake’s body while his sister sits behind him and joins the stunt. The children’s father said they were safe around Abo, describing the python as gentle and docile. He also said the snake had never harmed anyone. The footage was captured by Iis Rahma Alia, who frequently shares glimpses of Abo on social media. Abo is a reticulated python, a non-venomous snake that kills its prey by constriction. These snakes wrap their bodies around prey and squeeze them. Native to Southeast Asia, reticulated pythons are recognised as the longest snake species in the world. The video shows the children interacting with the python as their father describes their familiarity with the snake.
