The Wildlife Warrior, who has grown up playing with animals, seemed right at home as she took turn holding a number of different creatures in her hand.
First resting a brown lizard on the palm of her hand, the Australian star happily posed for photographs with fans as she tenderly stroked the animal.
She then picked up a giant python and held onto it as it moved in her arms, with Bindi appearing nonplussed by the venomous creature as she looked every inch the snake charming pro.
The brunette teen, who dressed in a casual ensemble of light blue jeans, a grey T-shirt and a purple and orange check shirt thrown on top, couldn’t help but giggle as she posed for pictures with the large snake.

'I'm in this space right now where I'm super pumped on life right now. I feel connected. I feel great. And then she walks in my life. You don't understand what positive energy she is.'
Bindi herself told the publication : 'This is going to be more terrifying than jumping on top of a crocodile. Crocodiles, they are very special because they are modern-day dinosaurs.'But I've kind of worked with them my whole life, whereas I've never danced before in my life.'
The other stars set to join Bindi on the show include Chaka Khan, Kim Zolciak, Nick Carter, Paula Deen, Alexa Penavega, Andy Grammer, Hayese Grier, Victor Espinoza and Carlos Penavega.
