A video circulating widely on social media, reportedly filmed in Indonesia, shows young children using an enormous python as a slide.
In the clip, a huge snake, which appears to be a reticulated python, lies stretched along a dirt slope in what looks like a rural backyard. A small boy straddles its body and slides down it while an older boy stands beside him watching, neither of them apparently afraid.
Reticulated pythons are among the longest snakes in the world and are common in Indonesia. Though not venomous, large ones are powerful constrictors and can be dangerous to humans.
