Videos of snakes often go viral on the Internet. It is not the first time the reptiles have dominated social media.

Recently, a video of a two-headed snake swallowing two mice at the same time went viral. The video, uploaded by wildlife enthusiast Brian Barczyk was not for the faint-hearted. Each head of the snake was functioning separately at the same time to devour the mice.

Another video that went viral recently shows a rescuer removing a large snake from a ceiling. As the rescuer pulls the snake towards him, the ceiling cracks. The video shows a section of the ceiling crack and fall due to the weight of the several feet long reptiles.

After a tense confrontation, the rescuer managed to capture the snake. The clip left viewers astounded. Many were terrified thinking of possibilities if the python had not been extracted from the house.
