This is the heartwarming moment a thirsty snake drank bottled WATER from a passing hiker's hand.
Drljaca Milena and her husband Nenad Preradovic noticed the parched reptile in woodland in Krabi, southern Thailand on Monday (Feb 3) afternoon.
The country has been suffering a severe drought in recent months, with many snakes venturing out of their natural habitat in search of food.
The couple, from Belgrade, Serbia, beckoned over the red-tailed green rat snake, which is harmless to humans, from its tree branch and gave it a drink from their bottled water.
Footage shows the snake lapping up the fresh liquid from Nenad's palm in the Phanom Bencha National Park.
Drljaca, an animal photographer, said the serpent, also called a red-tailed racer snake, was calm and friendly.
