A young man had this street show in Yueyang city (岳阳), Hunan Province on Feb. 21, 2010. His name is Yan Wu (颜五), age 23. He took out a 60cm long, not so poison snake and left it on table. Then, he had his two arms fasten on back. He tried to provoke the snake so that it becomes more active. All in a sudden, he snapped the head of the snake. After a few seconds, the head is smashed to pieces and he swallowed all of them. According to him, the snake was fresh, tasty but a little fishy.
This practice is not encouraged because snakes are protected animals. In addition, it could be dangerous practice itself. There is no report of government interfering of this practice however.
