We express our sincere condolences to the relatives and friends of Arslan at this very difficult moment for all of us! Tentatively at noon he left, but his Love will remain in our hearts forever !, wrote the group’s administrator Andrei Derevyankin.
Live Bite
On the air of his channel, the blogger set a poisonous snake on himself. After a bite, he was immediately hospitalized. "Ambulance" called subscribers Valeev.
All these events took place on September 23. After a poisonous bite, the blogger fell into a coma and died two days later without regaining consciousness.
The recording of this stream has already disappeared from the YouTube channel. However, a shocking video is still present on the network. On it, Arslan sits in a half-faint state, but is still talking to the public. He dictates the phone of his ex-wife.
This is Katie's phone. If someone gets through to her and she has time to drive up to me and at least see ... I would be glad, the blogger barely picks up words, rolling his eyes. - In fact, I'm already dying ... But Katya would be glad to see ... How shaking.
It is known that a reckless act was preceded by a loud quarrel with ex-wife Ekaterina Pytyazhkina.
Back in August, a woman said on her Instagram page that a blogger who allegedly convicted her of treason broke into her apartment and beat her. The girl also published a certificate from the hospital with a diagnosis of concussion on social networks.
Then, however, Valeev apologized, but Catherine did not return to him. It was then that the blogger during the stream and poisoned the poisonous snake.
It is known that four lynxes lived at home in Arslan. As his comrades in the public say, now the animals are under the "watchful eye".
Sensitive and risky
Arslan Valeev was not just a popular blogger, but also a major specialist in poisonous snakes in the Northern capital. In any case, it was recommended in several large veterinary clinics of the city on the Neva. He used to be a livestock specialist for the exotarium of the Leningrad Zoo.
His close friend Polina Maratkanova, with whom they once started working together at the Leningrad Zoo in the exotarium department, spoke of Arslan as an excellent specialist and expert in her field.
He is not only in our city, he was one of the best in our country, ”she said. He is such a very risky guy, he was not afraid of anything. But he was a very sincere person, hospitable. I corresponded with him literally last week. It’s terrible that this happened to him. Reptiles - that was his life. He was so attached to his business. And madly adored reptiles, - said a friend of the blogger.
He bred many rare species. And he did amazing things, shot good videos and photos. He created his own private exotarium, - says Maratkanova.
Unsuccessful manipulation
Andrey Derevyankin, administrator of the public BobCat TV, told his version of what happened:
On the eve of the day, Arslan on a Instagram stream announced a nightly broadcast on YouTube with one of his favorite snakes - Mamba. Turning on the camera, as it used to be on a regular basis, he went to get a snake from the terrarium in order to move it into a plastic container used for broadcasts. In the process of manipulating the snake, a bite was obtained, he said.
Since the man worked with snakes for more than 20 years, he perfectly understood what happened to him.
Arslan, realizing what was happening, left a message to his wife Catherine, and asked the spectators, who were eyewitnesses, to contact Katya by phone, as his limbs began to quickly go numb, depriving him of the opportunity to call for help on his own, and then he soon went outside, waiting for help to arrive, - Derevyankin tells the events of that evening.
Fast and poisonous
Among the venomous snakes, the black mamba is second only to the king cobra in size. The Guinness Book of Records claims that it is probably the fastest snake in the world. But, despite his abilities, mamba, when meeting with a person, makes attempts to avoid contact in every possible way. She freezes in the hope that she will not be noticed and pass by, or she is trying to slip away just as quietly. And only in the inevitable meeting does the snake become aggressive.
In length, the mamba can grow up to 3 meters and has a deadly poison. In the wild, this African snake feeds on rodents and birds, avoiding humans.
If she does bite, then the person affected by her poison needs the immediate introduction of an antidote. Otherwise, death awaits him.
