A snake-swallower died after a viper bit his tongue causing a horrific allergic reaction.
Video shows the agriculture worker, aged 55, putting the viper in his mouth to perform a 'trick' for workmates in a watermelon field in Astrakhan region.
Reports say the man had twice before put the steppe viper further down his throat but on the third attempt, seen in the footage, the snake bit his tongue.
While the snake is poisonous, its bite should not be lethal to humans.
