You might want to think twice about poking your nose in a reptile's business after watching this video.

Over the weekend, Chinese tourist Jin Jing was visiting an animal park in Phuket, Thailand where she decided to get up close and personal with a reticulated python. Jin and her friend leaned in for a kiss while two animal wranglers held onto the python, when it suddenly struck and bit the woman on the nose.

Onlookers can be heard screaming in horror in the background, as the animal wrangler tried to get the python to release the woman. Jin was then reportedly rushed to Phuket International Hospital where she received treatment for minor cuts and bruising to the nose. Luckily for her, the python was non-venomous.

We'll stick to kissing frogs for now.
