The unusual moment, captured in a short yet striking clip, has sparked heated debate online as people try to make sense of her fearlessness and the reptile’s surprisingly calm behaviour.

In the video posted on Facebook by the woman herself under the handle Laura León, she can be seen settling into a bath filled with water while the enormous snake rests comfortably beside her. Instead of reacting with fear or caution, she gently lifted the snake from the water and placed it across her shoulders, as if she were handling a friendly pet rather than a powerful reptile capable of invoking widespread fear.

What happens next is what truly sent social media into a frenzy. Laura León picked up a small rubber duck and placed it playfully on the snake’s head, prompting a wave of disbelief from viewers. She even leaned forward and kissed the snake before gently returning it to the bath.

Throughout the entire interaction, the snake remained unexpectedly calm, gliding through the water with a slow, relaxed ease as if accustomed to such affectionate treatment.

The video posted on November 29, 2025, has since gone viral, with netizens flooding the comments section with a mix of amusement, anxiety, admiration, and disbelief.

Some praised social media user Laura León's bravery, while others urged caution, warning that wild animals are unpredictable, regardless of how tame they may appear.
