A heartwarming and unusual video from Indonesia is capturing widespread attention online, showing two young children comfortably spending time with their pet snake while watching videos on a smartphone. The clip, shared on May 2 by Nature Chapter, features a boy around four years old and his elder sister, estimated to be six or seven, sitting together at home, laughing and enjoying screen time.
What makes the video stand out is the presence of their pet snake, named Momo, calmly resting across the girl’s shoulders. The children appear completely at ease with the reptile, treating it like a familiar companion rather than something to fear. The girl even refers to Momo as her “toy” or “doll,” describing its gentle movements as playful pinches.
According to the details shared, the family has raised Momo since it was small, nurturing it like a domestic pet. The snake is believed to be an Oriental rat snake, a non-venomous species commonly found in rural parts of Southeast Asia. Known for feeding on rodents, the species is generally harmless to humans, which explains the family’s comfort around it.
The video has sparked a mix of amusement and curiosity among viewers. Many have praised the children’s fearlessness and the unique bond they share with the snake, while others expressed surprise at seeing such a pet integrated into everyday family life. The clip has quickly gone viral, with social media users joking about Momo enjoying “screen time” just like the kids.
While the video highlights an extraordinary bond between humans and animals, it has also reignited conversations around unconventional pets and the importance of understanding animal behavior and safety.
