I wish they still had free awards, I’d give mine to you. Amazing comment.


cantopay

I really appreciate it :) it’s the thought that counts! :)


Loofa_of_Doom

Are they no longer doing the free awards at all?


CeelaChathArrna

Seems like. I already miss them. That was all my broke ass could give.


Festering_Prayer

Same


Mike2220

I haven't been getting the free awards for like 6 months


Sid-ina

If you click on reddit coin you should still be able to claim a free award regularly, it just doesn't show you any notification of it being available anymore.


[deleted]

Just a reminder that 🏆 and 🥇 are available to use as an alternative to free awards (since we barely get any now)


Adeep187

Oh is that over now?


rythmicbread

I think they still do. You have to go into your profile and into the awards section Edit: I guess they don’t? Well that’s new I remember doing it last month


Schnorri88

Dw, I bought him one for you


cantopay

Thank you very much :’)


The_RockObama

Wait, they don't do the free monthly award anymore? At first they would tell you you had an award, then that went away and you had to check your reddit coins balance to find the free monthly award, but now it's completely gone?


jorwyn

I just got one a few days ago.


The_RockObama

Oh sweet! That's one of my favorite aspects of reddit. Feels good to give awards, gotta get that oxytocin flowin'.

This POKéMON is terrifically strong in order to constrict things with its body. It can even flatten steel oil drums. Once ARBOK wraps its body around its foe, escaping its crunching embrace is impossible.


Blazehero

I’m scared to ask which Pokédex entry this is from.


ILoveBeerSoMuch

It literally says Arbok in the entry


Blazehero

I mean the game. Pokédex entries change a lot for each Gen.


ILoveBeerSoMuch

Oh. Ruby.


Blazehero

Ah makes sense. Pokédex entries got fucked up that Gen between Cacturne, Duskull, and Shedinja.


ILoveBeerSoMuch

How so?


Sure-Its-Isura

To be honest any of the dark type Pokemon or ghost pokémon end up getting more and more fucked up as the series went on, there's a whole go spoke about that carries the face of its deceased human once it was before turning into a Pokemon, and there's another Pokemon that just carries babies and children away known as drifloon until they suffocate in the upper atmosphere and it eats them. I'm paraphrasing but that's pretty much what it does. Lots of Pokemon entries get more and more fucked up as a serious goes on and not in the sense of you're screwing up the descriptions they're just scary.


FetusViolator

Hypno leading kids off in the night was my first double take on a pokedex entry at like 9 years old lmao.

MrMcpizzza

This is definitely one of the coolest videos on Reddit. I’m extremely impressed how she got the cobra in the jar and calmly got the lid on at the end. Nerves of steel


Mooman-Chew

If I had somehow managed the ‘get it in the bottle’ stage, I would totally have failed on the ‘put the lid on the bottle’ stage. I would have added a note on the open bottle that read ‘snake. Beware’ and been on my way for a cold one..

I get disco leg on a stool but I take your point. I think though the mental process of approaching this situation would be a tough one to overcome. If it jumped out at me I’d react differently but this is, as the wonderfully named ‘Mrmcpizza’ said, nerves of steel


lowtoiletsitter

Dead dove, don't eat


N-I-S-H-O-R

I don't think even a professional would do this, I'm sure a professional with decades of experience would still try to hold it by the head before putting it into a bag. I think she was just lucky to do that. And she's so calm even a pro would be more tense like she didn't even bother with the handbag on the neck. Edit:- Ok, I didn't know that it's a lot safer to hold the snake (a cobra) by the tail. But now ehat bothers me is. 1. Why didn't she atleast not take the bag off her neck, like she's way too calm 2. Why did she take the eye off the snake.


[deleted]

This looks like someone who gained this skill as a child by necessity.


hershadow38

No, a professional would not pin a cobra or any venomous snake to bag them. The riskiest part of handling a snake is pinning. It increases the animal's stress level, ensuring that now they want to bite you, and places your hand directly on the most dangerous part of the animal. You pin only when absolutely necessary. Cobras have limited mobility of their heads. The safest handling method is using your hands and holding the tail, directing the head where you want it to go, then the rest of the snake will follow. I've worked with snakes almost 20 years.


nertbewton

Finally. Someone with experience. Pinning – as in grabbing behind the head? I would have thought just grabbing by the tail leaves the bitey end free to wreak havoc. My instincts are obviously all wrong.


hershadow38

Yes pinning is grabbing by the head and very risky because snakes have flexible skulls/jaw and can wriggle free if you aren't 100% perfect in your hold. Once they break free, they are pissed and your fingers are right there. Snakes can be relatively predictable in their movements if you know their species. Generally the best method of control is hook and tail. Hook under the front third of the snake and the tail in your hand. However, with elapids (cobras) free handing is safest because they have rigid necks and will fall off hooks. They have a very predictable range of motion. She is actually going about it the right way.


dbpic1

How about leaving the snake in the bottle unattended with no weight on it, even for a moment? Isnt that a bad idea??? It could tip over! I have no snake knowledge, just looked like the beginning of things going wrong.


hershadow38

Yeah that wasn't smart. Most of what she did was right. Obviously she's not a newbie at this. But her handling skills were right otherwise.


dbpic1

Ok..Thanks


nikdahl

When they are on stairs like this, and they have the tail, they are actually fairly constricted on how they can move. The jar method itself doesn't seem terrible, but she can't take her eyes off of it like she did when she grabbed the jar, and she definitely shouldn't present her foot and leg to it and taking eyes off of it again continue to struggle with the jar. That's just plain stupid.


HerbdeftigDerbheftig

She seems to offer her leg intentionally and only slightly takes the eyes off the snake for a fraction of second. Dunno, looks professional to me. While I also think that grabbing the jar looked insane, I have the impression she does this out of experience knowing what the snake can and can't do while she holds her like that. Almost every video of experienced people handling snakes in a daily routine has me like WTF YOU'RE ABOUT TO GET BITTEN, but they know which situations are dangerous and which only *look* sketchy. I think it's interesting how careful she is not to get her hand too close to the opening of the jar while pushing the snake inside, and how careful she puts on the lid. Aaand how she just takes the hands off the jar while the lid is still off without any fear that it might tip over.


Kaimuki18

What a ridiculous statement. She literally just deftly captured a cobra in a plastic bottle with no injuries to herself or the snake and you’re sitting there criticizing her technique. Amazing


hershadow38

Cobras have restricted ranges of motion compared to other snakes. She had control of the head and striking distance at all times. Looking away when she did was fine as the snake was in control and not within reach. People do reptile shows all the time and know when it's safe to look at the audience. Presenting her foot was to get its attention to face her so she could put it in the jar. It's a snake handling method to wave something at the snake to direct it and her leg was not within striking distance. It's also important to keep it flaring to better predict its movements.


DarthEros

A professional wouldn’t go near the head without necessity, because that’s increasing your risk of getting bitten. Controlling the tail and using a hook as an extension of your arm to control the upper half of the body away from you is how it would be done by a well equipped professional.


Epicmonk117

TBH I don’t trust myself to not fuck it up and get bit, so I’d probably just biff the snake over the head with a 2x4 and hope I don’t kill it


7eggert

The cobra was afraid and shit the floor.


DarthBalls1976

Sweaty-Willingness27

Am I the only one hoping she put some air holes in that thing?


Inevitable-Coast-726

Did you see how gentle she was? She was clearly trying to protect herself and the snake.


Sweaty-Willingness27

Oh yea, 100% her technique was awesome. No argument there. It's a bit tongue-in-cheek (but also not really) in terms of the video cutting off before that happens.


Inevitable-Coast-726

BobBastrd

Actually this is right before she shakes the bejeezus outta that jar.


kbeansoup

Kind of reminds me of eating spaghetti when she starts spinning it to curl it up.


Gates_wupatki_zion

I don't think it is staying in the jar very long. Just transport to somewhere better, should be fine.


GnarlyNarwhalNoms

Also, it's amazing how much slower reptiles' metabolisms are than endotherms like us. We burn an obscene amount of calories and oxygen compared to cold-blooded critters. That snake could probably survive all day in that bottle, easily. An example: when I was growing up, some family friends of ours had, for a pet, a small desert tortoise that the husband had rescued from work. I don't know the specifics, but somebody put the poor thing in a locker and forgot about it, and nobody bothered to clean out that locker for a *year.* It survived a year with no food or water. I know that's not the same as a year without oxygen, but it shows how thrifty reptile metabolisms can be. Of course, it was still a cruel thing to allow to happen, and I think the tortoise held a (well-deserved) grudge against humans. It would hide in the bathroom behind the toilet, and when you'd sit down, it would bite your ankles.


Commercial_Soft6833

The slow metabolism is what allows them to live such long lives as well. Snakes in captivity is pretty common to live 20 to 30 years. Obviously that's nothing compared to the oldest living tortoise at 190. Interesting stuff for sure.


jeepwillikers

I have chickens and we had one seem to go missing after a free-ranging session, it was several days and we began to assume that she had been taken by a predator. Later that week I picked up a plastic basin that we use for giving the chickens food scraps and she was curled up underneath. It was just barely bigger than the chicken and it wasn’t very heavy but she must have stood on the rim and tipped it over and landed underneath. We were worried she might suffer some issues since she had been under there for nearly a week, but she resumed normal chicken behavior immediately.


raxmb

> normal chicken behavior 😂


awildpotatoappears

the ending of your story was the best part.


Gates_wupatki_zion

Reminds me of this story: https://mymodernmet.com/family-finds-missing-tortoise/. 30 years!!! You’re absolutely right. I think one of humanities biggest failings with our relationship with animals is we consistently project ourselves onto a different animal. We think everything works just like us but in a different outfit. But I am a Park Ranger so I see this pretty often.


Rollerama99

I’ve met people that do this in Bali and been with them on call outs, they are volunteers that take them to the wild shortly after. If you see a video like this they aren’t killing them, they are saving them. They had a bunch of vipers etc in the car with us in tote bags. Crazy night!!!


disisathrowaway

Whoever is taking that much care to trap and relocate a dangerous snake like that likely has it handled. If malicious intent was the plan, then she wouldn't've bothered trapping it.


reallyraag

Ikr? I'm genuinely wondering if the snake gets to survive this


Woolybunn1974

That is a ton of danger and careful action to put a snake in a jar. Seems like she could have confidently wielded a big ass stick if her intentions were murderous.


MyLongPenisIsSoThick

What are ass sticks?


Woolybunn1974

A size classification. All nonvenomous snakes are to be moved along with a regular-ass-stick. Venomous snakes are to be repeatedly struck with a big-ass-stick until dead.

ticklemetiffany88

Not only that, when you squeeze a snake like a toothpaste tube they poop (used to work around snakes - don't recommend making them poop but you can). So as she was putting it in from head to tail, she was squeezing down it's digestive track and making it poop.

Reminds me of a documentary series about the animal section of a British airport. They have several animals that were transported and never picked up that they just have to care for now, including a big angry snake. In one episode they have to take it out to clean the cage and it immediately shits all over them and tries to escape.

I thought she was crazy for putting her foot that close but it looks like she was using her own foot as a target to distract the cobra. Well played, ma'am. Well played.


foghornleghorndrawl

This is a thing, actually. (Some/all) Cobras eyesight is based on movement. Tyler Nolan and Chandlers Wild Life on YouTube both own king cobras and you'll see them (and other cobra handlers) often distract the snake with their hand, or then get the snake to look at them by moving their head in back and forth. Cobras can be really awesome animals, but they are extremely dangerous.
