Am I the only one here more interested in the snake than the dancer?
I’m guessing Seth wrapped the snake on/around the doorknob and let nature take its course from there.
Say what you will about Sword Guys, at least the objects of their obsessions don’t escape their glass cases like Snake Guy Seth’s did.

nope, snakes can figure out doorknobs. I’ve watched them do it.
It’s a shame the audio isn’t better because that snake would have made a very satisfying SMACK when it flopped to the floor.
It got subsumed by the embed tags somehow.
I feel like a knob handle would contain Seth’s snake much better than that lever handle.
Also, as always, there’s a Farside for every herpetological occasion…
To be fair, snakes are inherently fascinating. Simultaneously funny, cute, slightly unnerving and the vauge sense that evolution is playing a practical joke.
Aha, finally a good human version of the cucumber-cat-scare videos.
It’s because of the weird, sinuous way in which they move.
Which includes being able to climb walls, ring doorbells, and open doors.
I feel like I should make some sort of Snake Plissken/Escape joke, but I’m too tired right now. Maybe later.
Indeed
Poor snek dropped like a rek, yikes.
I hope the poor beast didn’t hurt itself trying to save that person from their own mehness, geez, what a hero.
Watch the door handle - that snake did it on his own!
Large constrictors can figure out doorknobs. And boas like that one tend to be chill dopes who just wanna be around activity.
