This wild snake was not happy when a human came too close and repeatedly lunged at him.

The angry Radiated rat snake was seen in Saraburi, central Thailand, on May 7.

The 6ft long reptile, also known as a copper-headed trinket snake, reared up with its fangs showing and jumped at the filmer several times.

Khun Chatapong, who recorded the scene, said: ''I wasn't expecting the snake to be so aggressive. They were obviously feeling very threatened by me. I just found it interesting because I've never seen one so big before and wanted to take a picture.’'
