CHENNAI: A YouTuber who made a video with a snake has sparked a controversy. The YouTuber ‘TTF Vasan’ is in trouble for a video showing him with his pet snake. Vasan had recently informed his subscribers that he had decided to raise a snake. Following this, Vasan shared a video of himself going to a pet shop in Coimbatore to buy a snake. The 25-minute video was uploaded to YouTube on December 28. In the video, he talks about being an animal lover and why he decided to buy a snake.


The video then showed him driving with the ball python wrapped in his hand and putting the snake around his neck. After the video went viral, the forest department intervened in the incident.


The YouTuber acquired a ball python, an exotic species that is not covered under the Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1976. He has the legal right to buy this snake and raise it at home. Chennai Wildlife Warden Manish Meena said that the forest department is checking whether the YouTuber followed the rules in buying the snake and whether the person who sold the snake has the necessary documents. TTF Vasan is a controversial figure. He is accused in several cases, including violating traffic laws.
