Woman picks up snake by its tail to save wedding. Watch the uniquely Arizona video

A good pair of cowboy boots and a snake are guaranteed to keep an Arizonan wedding interesting.

In a TikTok posted by Sandra Leos, @sandraleos22, a wedding guest is seen dragging a snake out of the ceremony by its tail. The snake, which is more than a foot long, wiggles in her grasp as she finds a place to relocate it.

The wedding guest, identified as Leos's little sister in a follow-up video, was praised for her bravery and nonchalance in the comments.

Users called her a "keeper" and a "baddie" while speculating on the breed of snake in the video, which had received more than 37,000 likes as of Thursday.

What to do if you find a snake in your home or yard

Whether you're terrified of snakes or are willing to grab them by the tail, encountering a snake can be an adrenaline-pumping experience. Be prepared and follow these steps to stay safe around snakes.

• Keep your distance: Back away slowly and maintain a safe distance from the snake. Give it plenty of space to move without feeling threatened.
• Secure pets and children: Ensure that pets and children are safely away from the snake. Keep them under close supervision.
• Do not attempt to capture or kill: Engaging with the snake could lead to a bite. “The vast majority of snake bites in Arizona are what we call an illegitimate bite because what we're trying to imply is the snake didn't strike you and you were innocent of any sort of behavior that elicited that response,” said Sullivan. “So a legitimate bite would be, I'm walking down the trail innocently and the snakes hiding behind the bush and bites my leg as I go by. We call that a legitimate bite.”
• Contact a professional: Do not attempt to handle the situation on your own. Call a professional snake removal service, pest control company or your local animal control agency.
• Keep an eye on the snake: While waiting for the professionals to arrive, keep an eye on the snake's location from a safe distance. This will help ensure that it doesn't move away and become difficult to locate.
