Footage shows the boy sitting on the snake and "riding" it, the same way you would a horse.
The boy's aunt, An Nguyen, dispelled rumours that the footage was fake and told the Daily Mailthat the family have had the python for four years as a pet.
"The python is 80kg...and very gentle. It was a rainy day and the water flooded to the edge of the yard. So they put the python in there to play and relax," she said.
Vietnam has been hit by heavy floods which have killed some 72 people, according to the country's disaster prevention agency.
