Steve Irwin's son, Robert

Steve Irwin's son, Robert, received an unusual phone call from a local zoo in Australia.

A python had gotten into a Coca-Cola vending machine.

Robert documented his trip to the zoo and carefully removed the large snake from the machine.

"So this was a first for me..." he captioned the viral video on TikTok

Robert looks like a younger version of his dad.

I just don't understand how people can handle snakes. It creeps me out just thinking of touching them!

You have to start out young to get the fear out of you!

When I was younger, there were a lot of boys around who would torment the girls with snakes, until the girls decided to turn the tables and we went snake hunting ourselves. Once we knew how to handle them with no fear, the boys couldn't torture us any longer.

I don't pick them up any more unless I would really have to. We have them in our yard and they're mostly black rat snakes and garter snakes which won't harm me. I leave them to do their thing.
