A TODDLER unleashed a deadly hissy fit on a snake by killing it with her teeth in revenge for biting her.

The two-year-old was playing in the back garden of her family home in Bingol, Turkey, when she started screaming loudly as the slithery critter sank its fangs into her.

Neighbours dashed to help the tot and to their horror found her with the 20-inch snake clamped in her mouth.

The vengeful youngster managed to kill the unwanted garden guest with her teeth after it bit her on the lip.

It is understood she was playing with the snake on August 10 when it lashed out.

Neighbours performed first aid on the tot before rushing her to Bingol Maternity and Children's Hospital, where she was put under observation for 24 hours.

She is now reported to be well and recovering.

Her relieved dad Mehmet Ercan - who was at work when the snake struck - said: "Allah has protected her, really.

"Our neighbours have told me that the snake was in the hand of my child, she was playing with it and then it bit her.

"Then she has bitten the snake back as a reaction."

It comes after an eight-year-old girl had to be rushed to hospital after she was bitten by a venomous adder during a picnic with her family.

The little girl, who has not been named, went to probe the snake with her finger at Kinver Edge, Staffs.

To her shock, it bit her - causing her finger to "rapidly swell".

Paramedics later rushed the schoolgirl to Birmingham Children's Hospital where she was pumped with anti-venom serum.
