These dudes tried to take a selfie with a snake and it ended terribly

Clearly this snake just hates selfies.

Get your selfies out of here.

A bunch of men holding a massive snake had the very bright idea to take a nice group photo. Holding such a majestic creature is clearly a special moment, which must be remember forever.

The python seemed pretty chill with the photo op until a selfie-wielding man in a pink shirt decided to hop in quickly from the right, causing the snake to pounce. The snake makes contact for just a moment before the men are fortunately able to remove its bite from the man's shoulder.
