The reptile bit Valeev by the finger on the evening of September 23rd. Coincidentally or not - it is impossible to say for sure.
Everything happened live on the YouTube channel hosted by Arslan. In the video, he sits in front of the monitor after a fatal bite. First, the blogger shows a bitten finger, but is in no hurry to do something. When he becomes ill, in a semi-conscious state, he dictates the phone of his ex-wife and asks subscribers to call her.
Katya would be glad to see, - says Valeev, rolling his eyes.
Was it suicide or an accident? This is now sorted out by the Investigative Committee. Well, everyone involved in this story needs to solve one more problem: what to do with 300 snakes that remained in Valeev's huge terrarium?
The correspondent of "KP" visited the site of the abandoned blogger's terrarium.
Arslan lived in a small house built of aerated concrete blocks on the outskirts of Vsevolozhsk.
On the site there are enclosures with lynxes. In a separate cage, a white alabai yawns, and another watchdog rushes around the yard - a smaller size.
At the gates of this house, Komsomolskaya Pravda managed to talk to the mother of the deceased blogger.
HAVE MANAGED TO SAY GOODBYE
Darikha Nurgusheva - a beautiful woman of about 50 years old - smiles so as not to cry. She takes the death of her son very hard.
On the evening of the 25th, my friends called me. They say: look on the Internet, Arslan recorded some strange video there, - Darikha tells Komsomolskaya Pravda. - When I realized what had happened, I immediately went to the hospital.
Before the death of her son, she managed to see him once again with one eye.
I went to the intensive care unit to say goodbye, - Darikha sighs.
According to Arslan's mother, snakes were his life's work.
Even as a child, he loved all kinds of worms and spiders. Then I got into snakes. I saw this passion of his: I bought snakes, terrariums, even allocated a separate room. I have always supported him.
Darikh divorced Arslan's father a long time ago. But I visited Arslan's house in Vsevolozhsk quite often.
The day after the death of my baby, my ex-husband took away almost all the snakes - the most expensive and valuable ones. Only pythons remained, - says Darikh.
CONTINUE THE WORK OF THE SON
According to her, one snake costs from 2 to 4 thousand euros. Darikha fears that now they will try to profitably sell them.
This is the seizure of the property of Arslan and his wife Katya. This is their property! - Darikha worries. - I will do everything to save the collection. Arslan dreamed of opening a private museum, and he must earn money. It was his dream and I have to make it come true.
She emphasizes that she is not interested in money, but only in the memory of her son.
She does not believe that Arslan could have committed suicide.
Yes, he and his wife had a disagreement. So what - who does not quarrel? But Arslan was very cheerful and positive. He would never do such a thing.
Let's add: four lynxes in cages and alabai are still sitting on the site near the house.
Valeev's father refused to talk to Komsomolskaya Pravda. Relatives of the family said that "the kites were taken away by the state."
At the same time, the Leningrad Zoo told us that they would not take the snakes for themselves. Reptiles do not have the necessary certificates and papers.

A black mamba bit a St. Petersburg blogger live.
Arslan Valeev is a Russian video blogger, author of popular channels in Russian-language YouTube: "Private Exotarium" - about the promotion of terrarium animals (snakes, lizards, crocodiles, turtles, amphibians, spiders, scorpions) and BobCat TV - about lynxes and other exotic animals. Arslan led the second channel together with his wife Ekaterina Valeeva (Pyatyzhkina).
On Saturday, September 23, during a live broadcast, Arslan Valeev spoke about the recent separation from his wife and talked about death. For some time he disappeared from the field of view of the camera, and when he returned, he said that he had been bitten by a poisonous snake - a black mamba. Then the blogger dictated his wife's number and asked her to call. After some time, Valeev lost consciousness on the air.
So far, there are suggestions that in this way Arslan Valeev wanted to attract attention and commit suicide. When he lost consciousness, the subscribers of his channel called an ambulance, and the blogger was hospitalized. Unfortunately, around noon on September 25, he died without regaining consciousness.
The tragic event, as it turns out, was preceded by a major quarrel with his wife - the video blogger accused his wife of treason, then attacked her.
Catherine reported the attack on Instagram, posting a photo and a medical examination.
Later, Valeev publicly apologized to his wife, but the reunion did not take place.
Then Arslan Valeev provoked a black mamba during the stream, and the animal bit him. In the hospital, the blogger was put into an artificial coma, however, despite all medical efforts, Valeev died.
Although the black mamba has a reputation for being extremely dangerous, the snake is not aggressive and never just attacks. In the wild, she avoids human contact in every possible way. And only at the inevitable meeting, the snake makes a warning pose, and if this does not help, then it only bites.
The editors of BigPikchi bring their condolences to the family, friends and fans of Arslan Valeev.

The host of TV and video broadcasts often risked his life, but everyone was so convinced of his invulnerability that the news of his death was a real shock for many fans. Arslan Valeev was a famous Russian blogger whose videos were breathtaking for many. It seemed that the guy was not afraid of anything at all! He is best known for the big wild cat community BobCat TV and the Exotrium video channel about snakes and other reptiles.
It was another live broadcast of Arslan Valeev, in which he decided to tell his subscribers about such a dangerous mammal as the black mamba (the poison of this reptile instantly kills an adult). During his story, the young man became so carried away that he himself provoked a black mamba to sting his hand.
It should be noted that the man was indeed in a very absent-minded state. This terrible incident was preceded by a major quarrel with his wife. Arslan suspected her of treason, after which he tracked down the woman and severely beat her. The woman immediately went to the police, where she removed the beatings, and on her Instagram provided not only pictures of her body covered with bruises, but also a document confirming that she had a concussion.
The man was beside himself, he still considered himself right, but Internet users insisted that he make a public apology to his ex-wife. The former, because Catherine did not forgive her husband for such an act. And assuring that she was not guilty of anything, she refused to return to him.
“I have apologized to you more than once. He also apologized publicly. I also apologize to the public, I am not a robot for cleaning up after animals and generating videos, I am a person who is rather weak in character, as I am, ”the blogger wrote on the eve of his death on the air.
Now most of the netizens believe that the video blogger set the snake on himself. And indeed, on the air, he behaved somewhat strangely and kept repeating: “I’ll just stay with you a little. If anything, there's a recording on the phone for Katya. I just read your posts. Tell Katya that I loved her very much. All for now. I can't even believe this is happening to me. This is Katya's phone, if she has time to drive up to me and see me, I would be glad. In fact, I'm already dying. Farewell. But I would be glad to see Katya. I'm shaking," Medialtaks.ru quotes Arslan's last words.
Arslan's subscribers who watched this picture hurried to call an ambulance for him. The doctors who rushed to the place immediately put the young man into an artificial coma, but they could not save him. This incident happened on the night of September 23rd. On September 25, Arslan passed away. All eyewitnesses of the incident claim that the video blogger himself, deliberately and in cold blood, provoked this bite.
Nikolai Drozdov, the permanent TV presenter of the program “In the Animal World”, decided to comment on this situation. According to him, the snake could provoke anything. She is fast and merciless, and on live television, attention is diverted and often dulled.
“On the air, attention is lost, you are distracted by shooting. Very dangerous. I was bitten by a snake the only time, there was a viper on the set, I was in the hospital. It is better not to perform on the air with snakes. Mamba is very dexterous and fast, bites instantly,” said Drozdov.
The channel of the popular St. Petersburg blogger Arslan Valeev has hundreds of thousands of subscribers. A 32-year-old man spoke in his public about big wild cats and exotic reptiles. Spectators could see how Arslan walks a puma cub, or how a cobra eats a white mouse. And the other day, public subscribers had to witness the death of a blogger. Valeev died in front of thousands of viewers during a live broadcast after being bitten by one of the most venomous snakes on earth, the black mamba. For more than a day, doctors fought for the life of a man, but they could not save him.
Black mamba bite
Blogger Arslan Valeev became known to the public thanks to his channel about the life of exotic animals. The 32-year-old Petersburger told subscribers about big wild cats and poisonous snakes and showed their habits and habits. In the video, Valeev played with a cougar cub, stroked a lynx and deftly handled boas and pythons, unraveling a tangle of snakes and distributing them in their places.The blogger's live broadcasts were the most popular. On the night of September 23, Valeev again decided to go live with one of his favorite poisonous snakes - the black mamba. Arslan, as always, turned on the camera and went to get the snake out of the terrarium in order to move it into a special plastic container for online broadcasts. The blogger has done this many times already, but now something has gone wrong. When Arslan took the snake in his hands, she suddenly bit him. The man returned to the computer, showing a bite mark.
The blogger could no longer call an ambulance for himself - his hands were numb.
"I can't believe this is happening to me"
Some viewers at first decided that Valeev was joking with them, but the "prank" was too long. Arslan was getting worse every second. At the same time, the blogger was aware of the tragedy of the situation, because he himself is an expert in keeping poisonous snakes with 20 years of experience.
When bitten by a black mamba, medical attention should be provided immediately. With every second lost, a person's chances of survival decrease. However, Arslan did not stop the broadcast and continued to communicate with the viewers, asking them to contact his wife. “I’ll just stay with you a little bit,” said Valeev. I can't even believe that this is happening to me. Tell Katya that I loved her very much. If she manages to drive up to me and see me, I would be glad. In fact, I'm already dying. Farewell".
Frightened viewers called an ambulance to the blogger. Valeev found the strength to go outside and wait for the arrival of the doctors there. Arslan was urgently hospitalized. Doctors put the man into an artificial coma and fought for his life for more than a day, but they failed to save the blogger. On the afternoon of September 25, Arslan Valeev died.
What will happen to the channel?
Now the fatal broadcast has already been removed from the network, but viewers still cannot forget this last recording of Valeev. “His channel gave so much positive!”, “Looks like a bad dream”, “Like a loved one I lost,” viewers write on social networks.The blogger's pets are supervised. What will happen to Valeev's projects is still unknown. It is possible that the channel about exotic animals will continue to be run by the friends of the deceased man.
“On behalf of the closest relatives, as well as the administration of Arslan Valeev’s resources, we express our deepest gratitude to all those who sincerely empathized during this difficult period and brought words of support to close people from Arslan’s circle of friends,” it is written on the official page of the BobCat TV / Wild cats." - There are many questions about the future fate of the resources, and we understand your concern in this regard. At the moment there is no definite answer, but we, as Arslan's mother, Katya and the absolute majority of viewers and subscribers, would like to further develop those projects that were part of Arslan's life.
The incident with Valeev was not the first in a number of tragic cases with specialists in exotic animals. So, in 2006, the famous “crocodile hunter” Steve Irwin died from a blow to the chest from a poisonous stingray. The death of a man was caught on film: the last moments of the life of an Australian were filmed by a cameraman who swam after him.
31-year-old blogger Arslan Valeev, author of video channels BobCat TV and Private Exotarium dedicated to exotic animals, died on Monday afternoon. The death of a young man came as a result of a black mamba bite, which he received during a live broadcast on YouTube on the night of September 23. After that, Arslan fell into a coma. Doctors fought for Valeev's life, but they failed to save him.
Meanwhile, information is being disseminated on the Internet that shortly before his death, Arslan's mood worsened due to the departure of his wife Catherine. According to some reports, Valeev allegedly was very jealous of her and even beat her the other day, and on the eve of the tragic incident he behaved strangely - he used obscene language and talked about death and pain.
Shortly before the tragic incident, the young man met a good friend Marina, with whom they took the cougar cub to the hospital. Friends celebrated this event. After Arslan's friend left, he again got in touch with subscribers. At some point, Valeev walked away from the computer, and then returned, showing a snake bite.
“Just stay with you for a little while. If anything, there's a recording on the phone for Katya. I just read your posts. Tell Katya that I loved her very much. All for now. I can't even believe this is happening to me. This is Katya's phone, if she has time to drive up to me and see me, I would be glad. In fact, I'm already dying. Farewell. But I would be glad to see Katya. I'm shaking," said the young man.
The worried viewers of Valeev did not understand what was happening. After some time, an ambulance was called, and the moderators turned off the chat, writing that Arslan was alive. All this time, the subscribers of the young man watched what was happening live and panicked. Then Ekaterina came to the blogger and turned off the broadcast.
The opinions of subscribers about what happened to Arslan differ. Some of them believe that he decided to commit suicide. At the same time, others, on the contrary, believe that Valeev was not going to commit suicide, and his dying speech was not planned and is a shock reaction of the body to a snake bite. In their opinion, the Internet figure was the victim of an accident. Many followers of Arslan urge not to blame Catherine for what happened to him.
Valeev's fans wish him to rest in peace. Internet users write that they do not believe in the sudden death of a blogger. From the outside, nothing foreshadowed trouble. Arslan seemed like a determined young man who genuinely cared about animals. “Remember, love, mourn”, “Please take care of yourself”, “Sincerely condolences”, “It's terrible. Hurt. I hope his soul is at peace. Sleep well, good friend”, “How I lost a loved one”, “Very sad”, “Looks like a bad dream”, “His channel gave me so much positive,” Valeev’s subscribers discuss.
The fact that the blogger broke up with Catherine became known in April of this year. Valeev's subscribers suspected that there were difficulties in his relationship with his wife, and bombarded the young man with questions.
Why so many channels? Where is Katya? Why then? Why is this? Yes, we parted, everything is simple. And with this there are no problems, so, to get rid of unnecessary questions. We share everything slowly, ”Arslan shared a few months ago.
Last Thursday, Arslan publicly apologized to Catherine. The blogger said that he behaved unworthily, omitting impartial remarks about his former lover. Valeev noted that he was hurt and lonely.
“There are no excuses for my statements addressed to you personally, I acted low and stupid, it is extremely far from the ideal, but you must understand, it’s very hard for me now, it’s hard to live within those walls in which we wanted to meet old age, it’s hard to see everything that connected with you and is an obligatory part of my lonely (I have no one!) life, it is very difficult to accept the fact that everything is already behind and nothing can be fixed. And I see that everything has definitely passed for you, a new life has begun with someone you have sympathized with for a long time, ”the blogger addressed Ekaterina.
Valeev also noted that the girl is a wonderful person whom he undeservedly offended. “Not a single impartial statement addressed to you personally has any meaning and weight, all this is a lie from resentment and wild envy, you know this, but not all observers understood this. I've apologized to you over and over again. He also apologized publicly. I also apologize to the public, I am not a robot for cleaning up after animals and generating videos, I am a person who is rather weak in character, as I am, ”Arslan shared.

The host of TV and video broadcasts often risked his life, but everyone was so convinced of his invulnerability that the news of his death was a real shock for many fans. Arslan Valeev was... Presenter...
But the denouement came earlier - on the evening of September 23, Valeev was bitten by a black mamba in his own house. The venom of this snake is deadly for humans. Relatives took 32-year-old Arslan to the hospital, but it was too late to save him.
Arslan has been blogging for several years about his favorite snakes and lynxes. There are thousands of subscribers.
It is still unclear what happened - did the mamba accidentally bite Valeev or not? Reporters from Komsomolskaya Pravda, together with Arslan's mother, visited the site of the tragedy.
LIFE IN THE BASEMENT
The house of Arslan Valeev stands on the outskirts of Vsevolozhsk - a small two-story box of aerated concrete blocks.
But the only staircase in his house does not lead up, but down. The fact is that for the last two years Arslan has literally lived in the basement. Without windows and doors.
They started building the house a long time ago, a couple of years ago, and as soon as it became possible, Arslan immediately moved to the basement, - the mother of the blogger Darikh Nurgushev told KP. She is divorced from his father and lives separately. “My son spent all his money on his animals. This was his passion. And the walls of the house were only laid down this year ...
In a stuffy room, where we go down a steep wooden staircase, a light bulb shines dimly. A door, another door - and we find ourselves in a tiny room about 15 meters away. A bed, a computer desk, a rack - and, in fact, nothing else fits here.
The tragedy, we recall, unfolded literally on the air: before picking up a black mamba, Arslan turned on the camera on his laptop. Then he leaves the frame and returns five seconds later - already mortally bitten. It was here that Arslan spent his last broadcast. There is a funny soft toy on the bed.
How shaking, - says Arslan, rolling his eyes. The poison starts to work.
Valeev dictates to subscribers the number of his wife and asks to notify her. Then he gets up and staggers out of the house. His father took him to the hospital - he lives in a neighboring house.
BOA IN THE PLACE, MAMBA DISAPPEARED
The dwelling in which the popular blogger lived, of course, is no dwelling - but a real exotarium.
On all walls, from floor to ceiling, there are only solid terrariums. Only in the room next to the bedroom was there a place for a table, a kettle and a microwave. But also surrounded by snakes.
It is immediately clear that Valeev was an enthusiastic biologist. With some crazy stuff. An ordinary person could not live here.
Now almost all the terrariums are now empty - Arslan's father took the kites out. But where, no one knows. He himself does not want to communicate with journalists.
However, some people remained - for example, a giant boa constrictor, like a watchman, spread its rings over a meter-long terrarium.
A smaller snake looks at the journalists with interest. No black mamba. Her cage, by the way, is a stone's throw from Valeev's bedroom.
I'm afraid they will try to quickly sell all the snakes - after all, they cost from 2 to 4 thousand euros, - Darikha Nurgusheva is worried. - Although this is the property of Arslan, and now - his widow Catherine.
Nurgusheva emphasizes that she herself is not looking for benefits - she just wants to save her son's collection.
Arslan dreamed of a private museum. And I must do everything to make his dream come true, - says Darikh.
Three lynxes and a small puma remained in the enclosures on the site next to the house. The snow-white alabai melancholy examines the guests through the bars of the lattice.
I hope that at least they won’t be sold, - Darikha Nurgusheva worries.
Meanwhile, the fate of Valeev's grandiose collection remains unknown. By the way, there were other poisonous snakes in the congregation - where are they now? Yes, and Valeev had more than one black mamba - he once bought two copies.
And if reptiles start to be sold left and right, who will guarantee that the mamba will not bite another naturalist?
VERBATIM
I haven't seen his latest broadcast. Valeeva's widow Ekaterina told KP.- Subscribers called me after Arslan gave my phone number and said that he was bitten by a snake. I immediately arrived at his house, but Arslan had already been taken to the hospital. But the broadcast continued, and I myself had to stop it. I loved him very much. I still don't believe what happened.
They say you broke up a few months before?
We had disagreements, but we were husband and wife. We saw each other a few hours before the incident. I haven't watched this last post of his, I just can't bring myself to.
EXPERT OPINION
THERE ARE ONLY A FEW BLACK MAMBA IN RUSSIA
We knew Arslan, and I can say that he is a very experienced specialist. Therefore, I can’t and don’t want to comment on what happened, ”Vladimir Cherlin, candidate of biological sciences, told KP. “I can only say that he had no chance of escaping. An antidote would help - but in principle there is none in Russia, because we don’t have mambas either.
Valeev had two. I can assume that there are two or three more such snakes in the whole of Russia.
This is a really scary snake. I won’t say that it is the most poisonous, but it is in the top. The poison contained in her gland is enough for more than bites. That is, the snake that bit Arslan is still dangerous.
Valeev also had a lot of boas in his collection, he bred them and successfully kept them. He really was a great specialist.
The problem is that our legislation on reptiles does not actually work. Yes, you need to get permits, but no one knows how to do it. People rest against the wall, and yet many people love reptiles. So they are forced to go to the illegal market.
I can assure you: everything is fine with Arslan's collection, it is in safe hands. Where exactly, I can’t say, but there is no reason to panic. And even if some of the reptiles are sold, this does not apply to poisonous snakes. They stay with the professionals.
Published on 25.09.17 18:20The blogger who set the black mamba on himself on the air died. Death from a snakebite has already been commented on by biologist Nikolai Drozdov.
Russian video blogger Arslan Valeev, known for his public about big wild cats Bob Cat TV and a video channel about snakes and other reptiles "Exotarium" died from the bite of a venomous snake. This is reported in blogger group.
On the night of September 23, while live on his channel, Valeev received a bite from a black mamba. He was immediately hospitalized. Around noon on September 25, Valeev died.
That night, the video blogger (the total number of subscribers from two channels is 515 thousand) launched a stream on which intkbbee let the black mamba sting his hand. The guy studied wildlife, so several snakes, spiders and tiger cubs lived in his house.
The video itself has already been removed from YouTube. There remains a saved fragment on the Web, in which a guy in a coma dictates the phone number of his ex-wife, whom he would like to see before his death. One of Arslan's subscribers called an ambulance: the guy was brought to the hospital in critical condition and put into a medically induced coma.
Two years ago, Arslan Valeev was bitten by a king cobra. This was told in an interview with Channel Five by his classmate, who works at the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences. As an acquaintance of Valeev explained, the poison tends to accumulate. And the second and subsequent bites are much more difficult to tolerate.
TV presenter and biologist Nikolai Drozdov commented on REN-TV about the tragedy that happened to blogger Arslan Valeev.
“Live, you lose attention, you get distracted by shooting. It’s very dangerous. I was bitten by a snake the only time, there was a viper on the set, I was in the hospital. It’s better not to go on air with snakes. Drozdov.
