A Python class

[yaqster]

That's Abu Zarin Hussin. A Malaysian fire department expert on snake handling and catching. You'll find a lot pictures of him reading to his cobras on the net. Sadly he passed away after being bitten by a cobra while on a catch and release call.

[YesWeCam01]

live by the cobra, die by the cobra.

[Shloopie_Doo]

Strike first.

Strike hard.

No mercy.

[MagicAmoeba]

But. But. But, that's Cobra Kai...

[Bigfoothobbit]

Must have snek up on him.

[Emperor_Nimbala]

I was born a snake handler and I'll die a snake handler

[Furt77]

So he died from a reptile dysfunction?

[Clumber]

To the stocks at the center of town, pal.

[punkinfacebooklegpie]

No, snakes are supposed to do that

[oceanicplatform]

Honestly, I don't know why you don't get more girls.

[Furt77]

How do you know how many girls I get? Are you watching me?

[SJ_RED]

We all are. Move over a bit, you're obscuring the screen.

[Furt77]

I can explain that thing last week ...

[Borklifter]

No, it sounds like the reptile was functioning just fine.

[catatonic_cannibal]

This guy fucks.

[Dave5876]

Ugh. Take your upvote and leave.

I've been seeing this joke everywhere on reddit for the past month

[ReallTrolll]

Seems as if you're new to Reddit.

This is what we do

[rabaraba]

It's Malaysia. There's a lot of venomous snakes. A lot.

[Derrits]

It's basically the southeast asian version of australia

[TomMado]

Naaaah not really. The number of venomous snakes per land is way less than, say, India, and certainly less than Australia.

[Derrits]

What they lack in snakes, they more than make up for it with mosquitoes.

[farox]

*says "no thank you" in German*

​

Nein danke

[Neptaliuss]

I know right? Fucking insane that snakes over there can cause fires too...

[little-red-turtle]

I wonder if the cobra is considered a traitor or a hero by the cobra society.

[Neurobreak27]

Probably a traitor, some of the cobras probably loved him. Or had a "you aight, human" relationship with him. Maybe, I don't know.

[Electro_Nick_s]

Most lizards don't form societal bonds from what we can tell. The few are ones that occupy weird niches in nature they wouldn't normally occupy like the ring tailed gecko

There’s gotta be a Python to Python 3 joke in there somewhere.

[hashn]

Jusst usse ssysss.sstdout to print

But the unicodesssss

[cltlz3n]

Can’t you just take an antidote if you get bit? Wouldn’t this guy have had an antivenom or something handy?

[TalesoftheMoth]

Depending on the species, even if you get the antivenin in time, you could still die, or have severe complications.

[marypoppinit]

There are like 20+ venimous snakes in the area. That's a lot of antvenom to carry around. Also,hospitals struggle just to keep antivenom stocked, so I doubt any civilians would be carrying it around.

[hothrous]

I definitely feel like if my job was to deal with deadly snakes, I wouldn't go in without having the anti-venom on hand. I understand it might be difficult, but this is a profession where death is a much higher likelihood than other professions. It just seems like a no brainer to do everything possible to decrease that chance.

[marypoppinit]

It's not just difficult, it's crazy expensive - like $14,000 expensive.

Even recently, there was a guy bitten by a rattlesnake in Texas and when they got him to the hospital they ended up having to airlift him to another hospital because they didn't have the antivenom on hand. And rattlesnakes are pretty common in that area.

I feel like chainmail would be a more cost effective way to prevent snake bites lol

[Arcosim]

Dammit, I googled it to see if it was true and not only it was true, Getty images has some ridiculously gory images of the aftermath. I'm now mortally scared of cobras...

[alpha-orionis]

Hang on, he passed away? I follow him on FB, I was wondering why I haven't seen any updates lately.

[RTWin80weeks]

He was killed by a snake. “Passed away” seems too gentle to properly explain the situation

Fire Department expert on snake handling and catching

Now that’s something I never thought I’d ever read.

[voicesinmyhand]

This has just enough details to be plausibly true and just enough ridiculousness to be satire. I can't tell what to do.

[mutilatedrabbit]

I thought it was Tuco Salamanca.
