A man uses his bare hands to capture a snake and trap it in a plastic bottle.

Khun Meow was watering his plants at his yard when his neighbour called for help to catch the littler reptile hiding under her car in Phuket, southern Thailand on April 16.

Footage was taken by catcher's girlfriend Minlada who was there to give emotional support to her boyfriend.

Minlada handed him a long steel pipe and a plastic bottle with the top cut open. He spent only five minutes to grab the serpent.

He said: "It was a non-venomous snake, I told my neighbor not to be scared of it. I think I did so well, even if this was the first time I caught the snake."

Copperhead Racer Snakes are harmless and they normally sense humans approaching. Their bites are painful but mostly poses no danger to humans.
