WATCH: Man draws money with pet snake around his neck
Well, that's one way to keep criminals away...
A man has gone viral after being spotted withdrawing cash with a very unusual form of protection.
In a video shared about a week ago by Arrive Alive on Instagram, the man is seen standing at a Nedbank ATM with a large snake wrapped around his neck.

The snake, which appears to be a reticulated python, calmly rests on him while he goes about his business.
Social media users were left amused and amazed by the bold move.
Many said it was a clever way to scare off any potential criminals, especially around month-end when ATMs are busier than usual.
The original post included a reminder for South Africans to stay alert: "It's month-end and the streets are busy. Whether you're at the ATM, shopping, or commuting, stay alert and protect your money."
