Baby’s first massive python!
A wildlife expert has gone viral after allowing his two-year-old wrangle a giant snake with his bare hands, reported the New York Post.
Matt Wright, who hosts the Australian crocodile series “Outback Wrangler,” shared a video of his son Banjo pulling the tail of a huge Olive python across a grassy lawn.
In the clip, the fearless toddler hauls away the slithering snake as his father eggs him on by calling out directions.
“Pull him out buddy, pull him out. Pull him over to the bushes,” Wright tells his son.
At one point, the Banjo lets go of the serpent and starts to run away yelling, “Oh no! Oh no!”

The little tyke then gets dangerously close to the snake as it starts to flick its tongue.
“Watch out, he'll bite you. You've got to go for the tail,” Wright instructs while keeping his son away from the snake’s face.
The clip ends with Banjo heading to the snake’s backend as the reptile gets right up to Wright’s foot. “Quick, grab him, he’s going to bite Dad,” Wright is heard saying.
The Aussie television host captioned the harrowing video, “learning the ropes.”
The clip received mixed reviews with many loving the boy’s bravery, but questioning the father’s parenting skills for putting his son in potential danger.
