Doctors in Russia carried out a very strange surgical procedure on Sunday, when they removed a snake that is about 4ft long from a woman's guts.
The woman, whose name wasn't mentioned, was reportedly sleeping in her home in Dagestan, southern Russia, when a snake made its way into her mouth.
By the time she woke up, she felt unwell and was rushed to the hospital, where doctors detected that something strange was moving in her bowel.
Immidiately, they put her under general anaesthesia and began performing surgery on her.
The doctors videoed the surgical procedure of the woman. The footage, which has circulated on social media, shows when the the doctor inserted a tube into the woman's mouth and started pulling out the reptile.
Although, it wasn't stated, but it appeared that the snake was alive because it was dropped in a basket immediately after it was removed. The type of the snake was also not revealed.
The surgery has been treated with skepticism by some people who say the creature isn't a snake but rather, it's a parasite.
