Speaking to Pear video, the woman, identified by her surname Chen, said she was not afraid of snakes; on the contrary, she found snakes 'cute'.
 
Ms Chen said her father and grandfather taught her how to catch snakes when she was little, and she often followed them into the mountains to hunt for them. 
 
The hospital has advised the public not to go to the wild or near shrubs at early morning or evening in summer to avoid being bitten by snakes.
