Checking on an Injured Snake
This August, Robert Irwin came across a Northern tree snake with an injured tail. He caught it to examine it while informing his Instagram followers about the species. He warns that it’s “very important not to go around picking up snakes” but also important to know “that snakes aren’t out to get you.” Even so, the Northern tree snake is not venomous. “If this was a venomous species,” he reassures, “I would not be putting my head so close to his head. Because then, he’ll invenimate me, and I’d die.”
He notes that the snake must’ve had a run-in with a predator but was healthy enough to slither back into its habitat after meeting this celebrity.
