A quick glance at this photo and you'll think it's just another one of those freaky shots where the victim doesn't know what's coming. But look closer and you'll notice something: she's actually fully aware of the snake, and is actually holding it. It seems like she knows what she's doing - and that handling giant Burmese pythons is her day job.
If it was her day job, after this incident she might be considering early retirement. As you're no doubt aware, pythons are exceedingly deadly creatures. They aren't venomous, but they will constrict you until you have a heart attack, and they have the ability to eat you whole. She wasn't eaten whole, luckily, but the snake did begin its death squeeze before an onlooker was able to wrestle it away.
