A slithering mass of almost 300 snakes was released back into the wild by a courageous park ranger.
The vast horde of serpents were gathered in a green sack which the outdoorsman dumps onto the ground in front of him.
Hundreds of writhing snakes make a burst for freedom as he shakes them out of the bag.
The ranger bangs his hands on the ground right in the midst of the crawling mass to try and persuade the reptiles to escape to the undergrowth.
