A woman went viral onTikTokafter she was filmed bravely carrying out a giant snake with her bare hand, as it interrupted her sister’s wedding in Arizona.
In the19-second clip, the bride’s sister, Erika Rodriguez, casually grabbed the unexpected serpentine intruder by its tail while other guests looked on in amazement. “Erika, you’re f**king wild!” one attendee shouted, while another asked: “Why isn’t that girl scared of anything?”
She grasped the snake with her bare hand, before leading it away from the party and into a nearby bush, all the while lifting her dress to prevent it from touching the ground. “Weddings in Arizona,” read the text over the video, which has amassed over 1.2 million views.
“The snake kept making appearances in the little cocktail area,” Erikatold Fox10 Phoenix. “The worker had tried to catch him, but he flipped onto the steps and the deck right there. He came out again.”
She then took matters into her own hands and was later rewarded with a beer from the open bar. Erika credited growing up watching ‘The Crocodile Hunter’ for her bravery. “As a kid, I was very tomboyish, so I was outside catching grasshoppers and toads and snakes and whatever I could,” she told the outlet.
Her sister, Sandra, added: “It’s just always been who she is. She loves animals. She’s always been adventurous. She is not afraid of anything literally.”
