Posted from an Instagram page dedicated to Lokki the snake, the short clip shows the teeny snake galloping water from a metal spoon. The zoomed-in video starts with the snake sticking its tongue out to taste the liquid following which it starts gulping down the water.

'Shedding skin' 

In the clip, the man who holds the spoon explained that his pet was preparing to shed its skin, therefore his skin including eyes, look lighter. He added that, during the process, snakes find it hard to see or even go blind. He then said that when this happened with his pet Lokki, he made sure that it was spoonfed.
