The video starts with Stevie’s calmly walking down his garden path to the front door.
But as he opens the door he is oblivious to the coiled snake lying in wait above the door frame.
Just as the unaware father is about to enter the house, the snake strikes with lightning speed on his head.
The startled dad reeled backwards and nearly drops his water bottle in surprise as the realisation of what happened sunk in.
As he scurries from the front porch back into the path he is seen stumbling over in his shock and confusion.
Stevie’s dad can be heard screaming: “I got bit! Ow!”
“Snake bites Dad on Head…haha he thought he was gone,” Stevie wrote alongside the clip, which has been viewed more than 34 million times.
The sneaky serpent is believed to be a rat snake.
They are poisonous and feed on rodents but are not known to be dangerous to humans.
As always TikTokers were quick to weigh in with their opinion in the comments section.
One wrote: “I would have immediately died on the spot. End of story.”
While a second commented: “You know, I don’t think he reacted enough. I think I’d have ran half way across town over that one.”
“Checking the top of door for the rest of me life,” said a third.
Others made light-hearted jokes about the situation with Stevie’s father believed to have been shaken but unharmed.
“The audacity of that snake protecting the door like he pays bills,” joked one user.
Another quipped: “The audacity of that snake protecting the door like he pays bills.”
It comes after a man was bitten on the head by Britain’s only deadly species of snake after it slithered into his tent on a camping holiday.
Meanwhile, footage captured the chilling moment a massive great white shark in South Africa glides silently towards three unsuspecting surfers.
The 10ft beast sniffed its way towards competitors in an elite surfing championship in Jeffreys Bay – the scene of a spine-chilling attack only years earlier.
