Just for anyone wondering: This snake was docile, if not a little nervous. No strikes, no attempts to constrict, it just wanted to keep moving, as most reticulated pythons do.

[@Richard-Espanol]

I was wondering honestly if it was gonna snap at someone but good to know it was in a chill mood lol.

[@Camecol21]

Ya, it looked like they planned to be goofy just for the show then that's why they all put him down before the snake got excited

[@stevenf927]

When they brought the retic in it was in flight mode - it just wanted to get away. When they left it alone for a few seconds it was able to get into thinking mode and it calmed down.

[@amandastakeonit7402]

Yep! For those that don't know this was staged! They do like to keep moving but it's not as bad as these guys made it out. Conan did a late night comedy so they wanted to "fun" it up. Notice the snake didn't actually coil anyone nor did it open it's mouth.
