Man throws snake mid-air, escapes bite by few inches | Watch viral video

A shocking video of a man who narrowly escapes a snake bite after plunging the snake mid-air has gone viral on social media. In the video, the man can be seen trying to capture the snake which repeatedly tries to bite his face.

It is only a matter of moments before the snake misses biting the man's face. In the video, the snake can be seen slithering across the ground as the man attempts to grab it by the head. The snake strikes at him multiple times, calling in for a moment of tension, as a few inches separate the man's face from the snake.
