Shorn Arwa explains her love for exotic foods after revealing she ate lizards and snakes

Content creator Shorn Arwa has opened up about her unusual food experiences, revealing that she has eaten both lizards and snakes as part of her love for trying exotic foods.

Speaking during an interview posted on Friday, September 4, 2026, Arwa recalled an incident when she spotted a lizard on the wall of her home and began wondering whether it could be turned into a meal.

“Yes. I saw a lizard just on my wall, and I was like, I could try it. True story, by the way. Ask my family members. I made it and I ate it,” she said.

How Shorn Arwa prepared the lizard

Arwa explained that she eventually captured the lizard using a sock before preparing it for consumption.

She said the experience was driven by curiosity rather than a deliberate plan to eat a lizard.

“I was like, what if?” she recalled when asked what made her consider eating it.

According to Arwa, she roasted the lizard after preparing it, although the people around her were unwilling to taste it.

“I just kind of roasted it and no one wanted to try it,” she said.

The revelation surprised the interviewer, who questioned how she could look at a lizard and immediately think of it as food.

Arwa, however, described herself as an experimental person who enjoys trying different foods.

She has also eaten snakes

The content creator went on to reveal that her unusual food experiences were not limited to lizards.

She said she had also eaten snakes while travelling in China.

“When I was in China, snakes. And I always post them online,” Arwa said

.

She added that she did not understand why people were surprised by her revelations because she had previously shared some of her unusual food experiences online.

“I don’t know why people get shocked when I say I’ve eaten lizards, snakes. Because I always post,” she explained.

Arwa said her willingness to try unusual foods is connected to her interest in exploring different cultures and cuisines whenever she travels.
