Yet, some fearless individuals have conquered this phobia, finding snakes intriguing and captivating creatures.

Recently, he shared a jaw-dropping video wherein he was seen calmly reading a book in bed alongside a massive python, while a dog lounged comfortably beside them. The footage has left viewers stunned and is rapidly going viral online.

Since being shared, the video has amassed more than four million views, with many people in the comments section expressing their fear and sheer bewilderment. While some were impressed by his comfort and composure around such a dangerous reptile, others expressed concern about the potential risks of keeping a large snake as a pet. Some also showed concern about the dog.
One user wrote, "This is fascinating but also terrifying. Is it safe?" Another commented, "This man is truly fearless, Mike Holston always leaves me speechless with his videos."
A third said, "How does that thing not want to eat the dog?" A fourth stated, "I just know the dog is so sick of this."
