A real estate agent was rushed to hospital after she was bitten by a snake while filming a property video.
In the background of Sany Galdino’s footage, the reptile could be seen tucked away in the grass at the side of the pavement.
The 26-year-old then filmed the snake, which appeared to look back at her next to some sunglasses lying on the ground.

Suddenly, footage showed Sany in the back of an ambulance, surrounded by a medical team.
She had been bitten on the leg and required immediate assistance.
“My life is not a movie, it’s a series, and this episode is pure drama. I’m already fine,” she told her 19,000 followers in the caption.
The video, which attracted 905,000 views, was supposed to be a sneak peek at a property Sany was trying to sell.
She ended up spending one night in an intensive care unit before being moved onto a regular ward the next day.
In her footage shared to social media, Sany included images of her hospital bed.
She also showed the bite which was on her right leg, just above her ankle.
At the end of the clip, the bite appeared extremely blotchy, and Sany had a large red patch where she had been bitten.
Sany explained that she had accidentally walked too close to the snake.
After it bit her, she was instructed by someone at the property to get checked over by a medical team.
She says she did not feel anything as she drove her car to a medical centre, but they advised her to go to hospital, as reported by Need To Know.
Sany was transported to the Hospital Municipal Alfredo Abrahão, in Anápolis, a city in the state of Goiás, Brazil, where she received treatment.
She said the pain was initially similar to scratching yourself on the branch of a tree.
She told the local press: “I didn’t feel like fainting or anything, I stood firm.
“When it stung me, it was the instinct, I gave a quick kick and walked away.
“It was the first day after I left the ICU that I started to feel pain in my leg and some stinging.
“I believe that was normal, in fact I’m a great miracle.”
She was filming a video promoting a condominium at the time, in the area of Anápolis, south west of Brasilia, Brazil.
After sharing the video with her followers, many users flocked to the comments.
Thiago said: “Thank God to be alive.
“A rattle of this caliber can be fatal, especially if there is a delay in service. Get well soon to you.
“May God bless your recovery.”
Cleidison joked: “I want to see her sell it now.”
“‘This condominium is real peace’. The snake – ‘Promise’,” joked a third viewer.
Gabrielly said: “I’m glad you’re okay and even making jokes. Sany being Sany. Haha thank God for your life.”
“Baby girl, I am shocked. Thank God I’m watching this video and you’re okay,” added Dani.
