(PHOTOS) Man Puts Live Snake Through His Mouth and Nose

A man wow the crowd in Beijing, China yesterday during the lunar festival which commemorate the year of the snake. The performer got everyone amazed by putting the heads of live reptiles in his mouth during the festival.

The Lunar New Year, also known as the Spring Festival, began on Sunday, marking the start of the Chinese zodiac’s year of the snake.

The Lunar New Year remains the most important festival for Chinese people, resembling a Western Christmas with a weeklong celebration of family reunions, gifts and gastronomic excess.

The snake zodiac is said to bring financial success and a blossoming social life although it has been known to hold bad tidings and is not as loved as the Powerful dragon of 2012.
