Lecturer asks vet students to handle a live snake or risk carryover (VIDEO)

Would you risk handling a snake or risk failing your course? That was the dilemma faced by Veterinary students at a tertiary institution recently. Their lecturer, in an unconventional move, required each student to handle a live snake in order to earn marks.

The exercise was captured on video by one of the students in the class. As the clip shows, each student, clad in their medical overalls, took turns holding a ball python for a few minutes. Some even went so far as to place the snake on their necks, hoping to impress their instructor and earn higher marks compared to their peers.

According to reports, the lecturer was adamant that every student must handle the reptile or face the consequences of failing his course. The rationale behind this exercise remains unclear, but it undoubtedly left the students with a difficult decision to make.

That course go be steady carryover for me

Fake news. It's been debunked.

Just tell me when I'm doing the carryover exam already

It is a ball python, a non venomous snake. Good decision by the lecturer. Nigeria should stop producing graduates who can not defend their academic nomenclature.

I WOULD HAVE GOTTEN AN A+ . BY THE TIME I AM THROUGH WITH THE SNAKE, THE LECTURER WILL HAVE NO CHOICE THAN TO GIVE ME DISTINCTION.

Na carryover be that 4 me

That's normal... They have to get acquitted in what they want to do

I wonder ooo!
How can you call yourself a footballer and be afraid of ball?
You call yourself a Vet yet screamed, "Holy ghost fire" at the sight of A Parrot or Cat!
To be a Veterinarian is not by force - if you aren't comfortable handling these Pets, consider a career in other Field simple.

Pythons rarely bite and they aren't venomous.

It's only in nigeria that you'd see someone who is afraid of dogs and cats, even chickens going into university to study VETERINARY MEDICINE

Only in nigeria

Very correct. The guy i quoted implied that pythons are not harmful.

Hmm.. it's kinda weird tho.
I know for sure that, it's not venomous and safe to carry else he wouldn't have asked to do so.

I will withdrawn from the school. Snake for wetin. Even dead snake I can't touch

Ball Python otherwise called Royal python is a non venomous snake. Very easy to handle due to it's non aggressive nature.

That course go be steady carryover for me

Lols. This is terrifying, I can’t do this.
