An Indonesian influencer’s daring encounter with a snake has gone viral after the reptile bit his groin and refused to let go.
The influencer, Anggara Shoji, who is known for handling venomous reptiles, posted a video of the ordeal on his Instagram account, garnering millions of views and reactions.
The clip showed Shoji in visible agony as a snake latched onto his groin through his trousers.
Despite his desperate attempts to pull it off, the snake’s grip remained firm, forcing him to collapse to the ground.
The video ended abruptly, leaving viewers wondering how Shoji freed himself.
Condition After the Incident
Though the video ends before showing the snake being removed, Shoji later reassured followers by posting other videos of his ongoing reptile encounters, suggesting he escaped the ordeal without serious harm.
Based on these posts, it is believed that he managed to avoid severe injuries.
Understanding the Snake Species Involved
The snake in question was identified as either a mangrove snake or a banded krait, both native to Southeast Asia.
These species are mildly venomous, and their bites can cause intense swelling. However, fatalities are extremely rare with prompt medical attention.
Mixed Reactions From Netizens
The video has sparked both concern and criticism.
While some commenters praised Shoji’s bravery in dealing with the situation. On the other hand, others raised questions and concerns. One commenter questioned, “Whoever is videoing this, why are they allowing this?” suggesting a lack of responsibility from the person filming.
Some commenters expressed confusion about how the situation escalated to this point.
Some were struck by the strange location of the bite, reflecting their disbelief at the bizarre nature of the incident.
Despite the painful encounter, he continues to upload similar content, showcasing his passion for interacting with reptiles.
