Jamie Guarino says people shouldn’t find it shocking.
You might have seen people on Twitter and elsewhere getting exercised about this video recently.
The python belongs to snake handler Jamie Guarino, 34, from Michigan, USA.
He says he filmed then 14-month-old daughter Alyssa with his ten-year-old pet snake Nay-Nay in order to educate people about snakes.

He told Barcroft Media: "I was trying to show that snakes are not evil creatures, they can be a loving pet despite their bad reputation."
"My daughter was absolutely in no danger.”

He added: "When people see the way Nay-Nay is with Alyssa they mostly react with fear or negativity and I don’t understand why."
"As you can see the snake is roaming around and it has no interest in biting her, or choking her or swallowing her. This is an embedded fear and I think people are just brainwashed."
