Everyone knows it’s not a good idea to mess with momma’s babies. Lucky for this guy, the monstrous snake didn’t go full force on him.

According to Sunrise:

A snake keeper proved why stealing snake eggs requires expertise.Jay Brewer is the founder of Prehistoric Pets, a store specializing in snakes, lizards and other reptiles. For healthy breeding purposes, Brewer moves the snake eggs away from the mother and into a separate crate, but when he tried to do this with one of the larger snakes, she tried to attack him.
