A video that has gone viral shows a scary situation of a snake stuck inside a woman’s ear and a doctor struggling to take out the reptile.

However, although the doctor is using various techniques it appears to be a very difficult task to accomplish as the snake keeps opening its mouth and the forceps cannot be used to grip the reptile firmly so that it can be pulled out.

According to wildlife experts, snakes are being forced to come out of their natural habitat due to heavy flooding and entering people’s houses. However, the woman must have been probably sleeping on the ground for the snake to have entered her ear.
