Although the snake did not injure the baby because it was too small to leave any visible marks, in the video you can hear the baby crying each time the snake comes towards her.
The mother has told ABC News that she grew up handling reptiles and wanted to impart a valuable lesson on her daughter.
Perhaps she could have found other ways to teach her about the slithering creatures? What do you think? Leave your comments below:
