Arteval Duarte is a self-proclaimed “Ninja of Serpents,” and for good reason. Duarte claims to be able to hypnotize and charm all sorts of creepy critters, and he’s done so for years.
If you doubt his skills, all you need to do is watch his latest YouTube video. In the video, Duarte manages to wrap a snake around a tarantula, and then put the entwined creatures in his mouth. Talk about yuck…
The snake Duarte uses for this stunt is a mildly venomous creature known as a banded cat-eyed snake.
The spider is a very poisonous pinktoe tarantula.
Here is Duarte playing with his snake and spider before the stunt.
Duarte says he trained poisonous animals for more than 15 years.
Wrapping one around the other.
The finale! I wonder what that tasted like.

That is one brave man. The way he casually plays with that snake and tarantula is enough to give me the creeps. For more from Arteval Duarte, make sure to check out his YouTube channel here.
