A young woman was bitten on the face during a snake charming show at an animal park near the Phuket Zoo, Thailand.
Jin Jing got the shock of her life after a reticulated python bit her on the nose when she tried to plant a kiss on its head. The terrifying moment was caught on camera and later posted online.
A footage shows two men holding the snake and Chinese woman leaning in to kiss it, when suddenly the reptile gets mad and attacks its victim at lightning speed.
Next moment a terrified tourist tries to set herself free from the python’s jaws with the help of the snake handlers, while the onlookers are heard screaming. Ms Jin Jing was rushed to a local hospital to receive treatment for minor cuts and bruises to her nose.
The incident reportedly happened on January 9, leaving the woman with five stitches on her nose. According to local media reports, Ms Jing reportedly received £2,200 compensation from the company for “her medical bills, pain and stress”.
The reticulated python is the world’s longest snake, which is found in Southeast Asia. Like all pythons, they are nonvenomous constrictors and normally not considered dangerous to humans.
Although large specimens are powerful enough to kill an adult human, attacks are only occasionally reported.
