Ordinary people commonly keep dogs, cats, and birds as pets. However, the pets of a 14-year-old girl in Indonesia are six huge pythons, and photographs and videos that recently went viral on social media sparked significant worry.

Most people would flee at the sight of a full-grown python, especially one that appears to be capable of squeezing an adult person with ease, but Chalwa Ismah Kamal is not most people.

The 14-year-old adolescent, who is said to be from Purworejo, Central Java, lives with six giant pythons and appears to be unconcerned about her safety when she is around them.

Photos and videos of the Indonesian youngster playing, swimming, and snuggling with the massive reptiles have gone viral on TikTok and Instagram, leaving onlookers speechless.

She isn’t the only one who feels comfortable among snakes; her younger brother was also spotted in several of the popular videos.

There is no tale about who Chalwa is or how she came to live with the six pythons, but she apparently informed the Indonesian website Lampung77 that she has been caring for her pet snakes since she was four and has no fear of them.

Although people frequently express their fears for Chalwa’s safety in the thousands of comments she receives on her videos, the child tries her utmost to clarify that her pets are very friendly and domesticated and that snakes in general are stereotypes.

I’m not sure this is a pet that many people would consider acquiring for their children as a gift for doing well in school, on their birthdays, or for any other reason. But Chalwa seemed to adore her pets, and her younger brother has no objections to having such animals around. For the time being, it is unknown how the pets respond to affection.
