Snake Wine

With their meat served up in a wide array of dishes and blood added to rice wine, snakes make a reputedly satisfying -- and nourishing -- meal in Vietnam. Caught in the jungles of the north of the country, snake flesh is traditionally believed to help with cooling overheated body temperatures, relieving headaches and easing digestion.

A Chinese woman who had hoped to make traditional snake wine died after being bitten by a venomous serpent which she ordered from an online shopping portal.

A woman who stepped into her bathroom for a shower was shocked to see a creepy black snake popping its head out of the toilet. A video posted on Facebook by Shanghaiist shows the snake crawling out of an Asian-style toilet and eventually being taken out of the bathroom.

A Chinese man who was trying to transport 50 venomous serpents in his suitcase for making snake wine has been detained by authorities at a railway station in eastern China.
