VIDEO: Trouser snake shock for weatherman
A weatherman was given the shock of his life when a seven foot python slithered up his shorts during a live broadcast.
Kurtis Gertz of US station KCCI-TV was reporting from the Iowa State Fair with the python over his shoulder when it took a fancy to him.
As Gertz chatted into his microphone, Dawn the snake darted up the right leg of his shorts, within seconds she was so far in she appeared from the bottom of his left leg.
The snake handler joked "She might have a crush on you," as he tried to get her out.
While they tried to get Dawn out Gertz said to the crowd "I've got a hunch this is going to make YouTube," and he was right, within days it has over 80,000 views.
As the weatherman began to get visibly agitated a colleague didn't help matters shouting: "We can't get the snake out of Gertzs pants."
At one point they thought the only way to get the snake out was to cut the presenter out off his shorts, "My mom always said to wear clean underwear, I never thought it was because of this," he nervously quipped.
But in the end they managed to get the snake out and Gertz learnt why they say never work with animals.
