Russian dancer poses with snake, gets bitten on nose: ‘She gave her a kiss’

The snake was non-venomous, and the dancer escaped with a minor wound.

Snake bites Russian dancer's nose

In today’s social media-driven world, content creators often take extreme risks in pursuit of likes and followers. A recent viral video capturing a Russian dancer’s startling encounter with a giant snake illustrated this trend.

Instagram user ‘Shhkodalera’ was attempting to pose with the snake when the unexpected happened—the snake lunged at her face, sinking its teeth into her nose. The shocking moment, caught on camera, left viewers stunned. Fortunately, the snake was non-venomous, and the dancer escaped with only a minor wound.

What truly stood out, however, was her reaction. Despite the pain and shock, she remained remarkably composed, gently placing the snake on the ground instead of reacting in fear or frustration.

While some found the incident hilarious, others were upset, criticiSing her for playing with wildlife just to make a video.

One user wrote, “Well just leave them alone. Simple. If you can’t just face the consequences.” Another user said, “Girl thought she’s a Disney princess or something.”

A third user commented, “I’m on the snakes side.” A fourth individual said, “Don’t stress out a sensitive animal and expect it not to bite you.”
