A lot of people are afraid of snakes and finding the reptile inside a shoe is an unimaginable nightmare. A video showing a snake that sneaked inside a shoe is going viral on Instagram. The video was posted by a woman named Aarti who calls herself a snake rescuer.

The clip, which was posted in July, shows a small snake inside a leather shoe. At first glance, the snake is not visible at all as it has crawled deep inside and made itself inconspicuous.

As the woman picked up the shoe, the snake could be seen on the other end. She is heard advising in the video that one should always check their shoes before wearing them. She says it is a common kukri snake that is non-venomous.

She then taps the shoe on the floor to make the snake come out. The snake then slowly crawls out and peeks out of the shoe before going inside again. Aarti then held the snake by her hand to take it out of the shoe.

Watch the video below:

Since being posted, the video has amassed 4.1 million views and netizens were amazed by her bravery.
“Brave lady…. No fear.. god bless u,” a user commented. “New fear unlocked,” said another. “Ouch that was so brave when u put ur hand inside I know it’s not venomous but still i find it scary,” wrote a third.
