Woman receives a shock as she wakes to find a python biting her

CCTV footage has captured the moment a pensioner was bitten by a feral python mid-sleep after the serpent slithered in through the toilet, reports Gentside.

Kaew Sudsopha, 75, from Bangkok, Thailand was left horrified as she woke to find a large python biting her.

''I thought I was having a nightmare," Kaew explained.

"There was a sharp pain in my foot and I woke up. I turned on the torch and noticed something moving on the floor. That's when I saw the snake.

''I don't know why the snake bit me, I was sleeping, not threatening it. Now I'm terrified to sleep in that room again.''
