Rescuers tried using a long yellow pole to help the frogs but only agitated the water and caused the snake to begin swimming laps of the tank.
In the commotion, one of the mice was thrown from the snake and rescued by onlookers while the remaining mouse and frog held on.
The poster of the video confirmed all the animals were eventually safely rescued from the tank.
Commenters were amazed by the unlikely teamwork.
