A small girl was filmed applying medicine to a huge 4.5-metre Burmese python to treat its mouth ulcer in central Indonesia. <br /><br />Maharani, the three-year-old girl also famous for a video of her brushing her pet crocodile's teeth, can be seen swabbing the python's gums to treat 'sprue', or a mouth ulcer, in this clip filmed in Tangerang City on April 9. <br /><br />Reportedly Maharani got her animal-loving nature from her father, who provides care for injured exotic animals, and has been interacting with the dangerous reptiles since she was two-years-old.<br /><br />Effendi, when asked about concerns for his daughter's safety with these animals, commented: "I understand what the others' feeling. It is true that I am sometimes scared, but after seeing her interaction with the animal, the scary feeling goes away.<br /><br />"First time she plays with a wild animal, I always watch and give directions what to do. But now, she has understood what to do as well as what is restricted when with an animal.<br /><br />"Every time she cures the animal, Maharani always cries and the animal will follow what she need them to do. <br /><br />"It is never easy to handle a python with sprue. The animal must be stressed and doesn't want to be touched. <br /><br />"When my mother touched the python, it twisted on her arm very tight and hurt her. But when Maharani took care of it, the python relaxed and strengthened its body.<br /><br />"To be honest, currently I don't have any worries about her when playing with animals. I don't know why. I believe in her, and so do the animals."
