Snake Bites Woman In Forehead While She Was Asleep In Bed

A snake bit a woman while she was in deep sleep on her bed. The incident took place in Coolalinga, Australia.

According to local reports, Emily Hinds slept after celebrating a win in social netball with a glass of wine when she suddenly woke up startled to feel something on her forehead.

"I woke up in that slumber feeling like I've rolled onto a hair clip on my head and was thinking 'Why did the kids put a hair clip on my head'? Then I thought the clip would have to open and close," she told Australian Broadcasting Corporation.

The woman said that she somehow managed to reach for the light switch and that's when she saw that there was a snake on her bed.

"Its tail was still on my pillow and it was half on the bedhead and cruising up to the louvres. It's in the curtains heading up and I've seen the pattern on it. We've seen them around before. I'm still cool, calm, and collected," Emily said.

"I didn't think it had bitten me, and then I felt around and looked in the mirror and there's two puncture marks and there's blood. I thought, 'This is cool and this is going to get me some street cred'."

Emily then woke her husband Jason up to tell him that she was bitten by a snake. Jason grabbed a "snake hook" made from a headless golf driver to catch the snake and drop it on the floor. Emily shouted at Jason as the technique he used to catch the snake was incorrect.

When Emily and Jason started arguing, the snake slithered towards them. This is when Jason picked up the reptile behind the head with his glove on and tossed it out into the bushes.

The couple then went back to sleep. "The bite was a little bit tender and I had a headache. But I wonder, was that anything to do with the glass of wine or the lack of sleep?"
