The video is designed to get your attention. And it does its job well.

A Michigan man who described himself as "reptile enthusiast" who has "always been fascinated by and respected snakes" videotaped his then-14-month-old daughter playing in the floor with a pet 13-foot Burmese python snake.

Jamie Guarino posted the two-minute video on You Tube, twice saying that his daughter was in no danger playing with the snake. The video has been viewed almost 1.1 million times.

"In this video, I was showing the simple fact that snakes are not evil creatures," Guarino said in the video. "They can be a loving pet, despite their bad reputation."

According to National Geographic, Burmese pythons have a "generally docile disposition" but adds that "attacks on handlers, sometimes deadly, are not uncommon."

Burmese pythons "kill by constriction, grasping a victim with their sharp teeth, coiling their bodies around the animal, and squeezing until it suffocates," according to National Geographic.

Guarino is active on social media (Twitter, Facebook) with a You Tube channel titled SnakeHunters TV. More than two dozen videos are posted on the channel featuring Guarino's 9-year-old daughter handling snakes.
