"Why? Just why?"

Netizens attempted to respond to the simple yet loaded questions by taking in the incomprehensible scenes before them.

Although the exact origin of the 15-second footage is unknown, it captures the moment of what looks like an Indonesian man washing a snake down.

It starts with him squatting down beside it in the bathing area of a house with water running from a hosepipe.

He is seen taking what appears to be shampoo and pouring it into his hand before getting to work on the creature after cupping a small amount of water.

He rubs the slimy serpent down from its neck, moving to its head and further down the length of its extensive body.

The snake wriggles subtly as he does this, even curling behind his neck, clearly attached to its handler.
