In the nearly four-minute clip, an alleged medical practitioner can be seen using tweezers in a desperate attempt to extract a black and yellow snake that’s peeking its head out from a female patient’s ear.
Shocking footage captured the alleged moment that a “surgeon” tried to remove a live snake that infiltrated a woman’s ear. Video of the herpetological surgery has racked up more than 125,000 views as viewers speculate whether or not the squirm-inducing footage is authentic.
“The snake has gone in the ear,” reads the caption to the bizarre Facebook clip, which was posted Sept. 1 by an India-based social media star named Chandan Singh to his 20,126 followers. However, it’s unclear where, when or how this unfortunate event transpired, local outlet the Economic Times reported.

The now-viral clip ends without revealing whether or not the sssssurgery was successful, leaving viewers shocked and appalled.
However, some viewers thought the clip was fake with one calling it “100% false” while another wondered how it managed to fit the rest of its body in her ear canal. One skeptic thought it odd that the snake was poking out headfirst — as this would mean that it crawled in her ear and then turned around in such a confined space.
Veracity of the video notwithstanding, this wouldn’t be the first time an uninvited pest has colonized someone’s hearing canal.
