This snake had a gripping reaction to the viral "don't pet challenge."

Dean Fraser tries the trend on his pet snake, he extends his hand toward the reptile and pretends as if he would be petting him but stops abruptly.

The snake, named Mr Red, launched an attack on his owner's hand and began coiling itself around Fraser's wrist.

The filmer said: "We had seen that 'don't pet your dog' challenge trending and thought we should try it with Mr Red, our corn snake because we know his behaviour and felt like it would make for an interesting video."

This footage was filmed on February 11 in Ocala, Florida.

'The "Don't Pet Challenge" has got to be one of the most entertaining pet trends on social media.

In this video, Dean Fraser tries the same challenge on his pet snake. He extends his hand toward the reptile and pretends as if he would be petting him but stops abruptly, leaving his hand just a few inches away from the hissing thing. The pet's reaction to this is quite interesting, to say the least.
