Caption: RFK Jr Goes Viral After Handling Snakes Bare-Handed In Florida. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has gone viral after posting a video of himself grabbing two writhing snakes with his bare hands in Florida. Kennedy said he was removing black racer snakes from the beach house patio of Mehmet Oz. The footage showed Kennedy calmly lifting the snakes while a woman off-camera repeatedly pleaded: “Bobby, please.” According to the National Park Service, black racers are non-venomous and generally harmless if left alone. Wildlife officials nevertheless warned the public not to imitate Kennedy’s actions, stressing that even non-venomous snakes can bite. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission recently urged residents to keep a safe distance from snakes during the spring season. Kennedy has previously faced scrutiny over unusual animal-related stories, including claims involving a road-killed raccoon and a dead whale. The video quickly spread online, adding to the long list of eccentric public moments involving the controversial health secretary.
