boosted that snakes ego, now it thinks it can make things explode.

[B_uttcrumbs]

Snake:  "Damn it!  It's water again!"

[ZombieChimpanzee]

that snake had to be a mix of confused and angry after the balloon popped.

[maha]

this is balloon abuse, I am writing a letter to the balloon association

[PlanetRockJesus]

Snake is like... How did all that water get into my mouth?

[Forcedminer]

What wonder what the snake thought?

"I WILL BATHE IN YOUR BLO-...Ahhh!! what is this?!!?"

[Telleryn]

Bet that's one confused snake, tried to catch this strange red animal, bit it so hard it exploded

[scottmorgan]

that snake was probably thinking: what the heck that

[davidcurry]

Looking at how he swooshed all the water away so fast, he would definitely make a good windscreen viper.

[akislol]

Snake is like: Dammit I've been trolled again!

[kRVRKV]

that snake is like " *cough-cough* freaking water? *cough-cough* "

[Baruchbenshaul]

Pausing and resuming right at the moment he strikes the ballon is so cool to watch, at one point the water remains almost completely formed to it's shape, and you can see the snakes head completely submerged just before the form degrades, so interesting. Unbelievable speed

0:24 that moment when the rubber balloon cover is ripped off and the water still retains the shape of the balloon

[jkkjkkas]

The disappointment on the snake face when he realised that he's been tricked to bite into a balloon full of water 😭
