An Indonesian social media influencer’s risky encounter with a snake went viral after the reptile bit him in a very sensitive area during a stunt.
Angara Shozi, known for his daring snake stunts on YouTube and Instagram, often performs with venomous reptiles, even putting his tongue in their mouths.
However, her latest video left viewers stunned as the snake attacked her private space.
The video shows Shozi struggling to free himself from the snake’s grip, visibly distressed and drenched in sweat. Initially standing, he eventually collapses to the ground in an attempt to free the snake.
Although it is unclear whether the incident was part of a planned stunt or an unexpected attack, the footage caught widespread attention.
Many viewers criticized the dangerous behavior, urging influencers to avoid such reckless acts.
With over 350,000 followers on Instagram and over 460,000 subscribers on YouTube, Shozi’s stunts have long been a subject of controversy.
One commenter speculated that the snake could be a mangrove snake, known for its mildly venomous rear fangs, while others echoed similar opinions.
Experts have noted that mangrove snakes, found from South Asia to Australia, are often identified by their cat-like pupils. Britannica reports that they are generally not aggressive but may bite if provoked.
