Snakes. Even just hearing the word sends a shudder down people's spines.

Not this little girl, though.

She has no qualms whatsoever giving a warm embrace to an 8-foot-long reticulated python, which sounds oh-so-frightening -- frightening, that is, until you see how gentle and sweet this actually is.

This encounter is about as opposite as you can get from the Indonesian singer who recently died after she was bitten by a king cobra she had on stage with her during a live show.

You've gotta give mad props to this girl for not being afraid. Heck, the idea of being afraid seems to be a totally foreign concept.
