Continuously use your fingers to draw attention to the snake, and at the same time observe its behavior (if the snake raises its neck and expands its gills, it snorts that it is angry and preparing to attack). Absolutely no sudden actions that startle the snake.

Step 2: "Hypnotic" snake with knees and hands

When in a sitting position, snake catchers often sway their knees back and forth to deceive the snake's attention. This will free up their hands to gently rest on the snake's head, which is an advanced technique and requires a lot of confidence and experience to perform.

Use your knees to get the snake's attention, while the catcher's hand will loop over the snake's head. (Photo: Cut from the video in the post)

If you move your feet instead of your knees, the snake will sense danger and turn away (because they have a special organ that senses vibrations). This action is often used to make the snake crawl away from the body of the catcher to ensure safety.

Note: When performing this action, always put your feet on the ground and avoid moving backwards too quickly, the snake will be startled and attack.
