Did you notice that in the video he is holding a bull snake, but the piece doesn't say that he isn't holding the snake that bit him. The patterning even looks rattlesnake like. What an idiot.

I hear rattlers taste better after a few beers. 
Snakes in the mouth. I wonder what Freud would have to say about that. Is this a common practice?
From the snake's point of view, either it's going to think "wow, nice rodent burrow!" and go down the throat or it's going to think "maybe I should have never trusted you, it seems like you're eating me!"
Either way, I can't imagine this is a healthy herp practice even for non-venomous snakes.
Still, I must sheepishly admit the thought has crossed the dark recesses of my mind, but no amount of beer or testosterone would move me to act; even if I was starved for ideas to impress and amaze my friends with crazy parlor tricks.
