The Australian Reptile Park posted a video of the zoo family's newest addition and since then the tiny, brand new snake's first encounter with the world has spread like wildfire across the web.

The (questionable-y) adorable video was shot by Billy Collett, the park's head of reptiles and venom, and shows the little reptile with mouth open wide.

But just in case you were finally deciding maybe snakes can actually be cute, know this small guy is a king brown snake, one of the longest venomous snakes in the world.

Such a special moment caught by our head of Reptiles & Venom Billy Collett! One of our brand new, freshly hatched king brown snakes taking its very first breath!!!!
