The video title when I first saw it I’m subscribed to Allen Pan) was: Giving Snakes **There** Legs Back Now, it’s been changed to: Giving Snakes **They’re** Legs Back Is this a subtle form of clickbait designed to attract people just to click so they can comment ‘\*their’? Or maybe not clickbait - maybe just trolling pedants? ---

For those of you who dislike or fear snakes, the good news is that they actually move much slower with robotic legs than they do without them. LOL Oh, thanks for the video, I found it vastly entertaining! ---
