It takes a different type of bravery to do some extremely daring things, such as jolly entering a room full of massive snakes.

But not just any snakes — among them some of the largest in the world, pythons.

Woman fills room with pythons

A viral video of a woman entering a room with one of these colossal-sized serpents to place it with others already filling the space at what appears to be an Australian reptile zoo has netizens on the edge of their seats.

An X user, @gunsnrosesgirl3, shared the material and captioned it:

"Wait for it ... the reptile zoo."

The 24-second clip shows an enthusiastic zoo employee gently dragging what appears to be an albino python into an enclosed area.

She is heard saying as she approaches the door:

"A room of secrets."

She enters, with the person filming one step behind her. They enter the door to reveal dozens of giant snakes of different hues and patterns.

The snake handler then beams:

"Look what we've got ... look, we've got about 20 ... 21 ... 22 ... 24 pythons."

Pythons, including the ball, reticulated, Burmese, carpet and green tree pythons, are nonvenomous snakes in Africa, Asia, and Australia.

They grow between 4.8m to 6m in length and can live up to 25 years.

Man bathing giant snake triggers cringe

In a related serpent story, Briefly News reported that few things in life still stun the imagination. Still, the guts to bathe a giant snake without fearing being suffocated or swallowed whole defies logic.

Another viral video of a man casually bathing a massive snake has sparked alarm and curiosity.
