Bindi Irwin posed with a massive albino python—a stunt that’s right behind her highly anticipated Dancing with the Stars premiere—in Hollywood, California Thursday night.

The 17-year-old daughter of the late crocodile hunter Steve Irwin looked very comfortable with the snake and dressed in a sparkly pink dance outfit.

The Australian teen posed for several pictures with the snake wrapped around her neck and waist.

Despite her temporary reptilian dance partner, Bindi is going to hit the ballroom floor with 30-year-old Derek Hough.

Irwin confessed to People that she’d rather face wild animals than the dance judges. Such is proven to be true, as Bindi appears to have past experience as a snake charmer.
