A friendship between a man and a snake is highly unlikely that is why a video of the two interacting has viewers intrigued. 

Both unafraid of each other, the snake emerges from the water and comes up to the man who is sitting on the dock and takes a snack out of his hand.  Highly unusual and unexpected!

What is even more intriguing is that the man said that the snake “remembers him.” This hints at a relationship that is not new but has been going on for a time already for the snake to be comfortable to be around him and vice-versa.

According to the man, Tim Jones, three diamond water snakes, or Nerodia rhombifer, live behind his house where the lake is. A retired zoo director, he certainly knows how to interact with animals.

The large female has been over the years, gotten used to him and trained to accept fish that he gives her. 

Jones said, “Not only did she remember me, she really came up to me when she saw me. I’m real happy over that.”

As Jones happily shared, the reason why he has taped up his britches was to avoid the snakes getting into them and crawling on his leg and other parts. 

With the way Jones relates his story with the snake, you will realize that no matter how unusual and intriguing his relationship with the snake is, if people and animals respect each other, nothing is impossible.  Man and animals can peacefully coexist.
