I cannot forget the experience I had when a colleague of mine woke one faithful morning and they first sight he made was a black Snake beside is bed. It demands screaming sure it does. Mine was also terrifying while I was doing a mandatory national youth service in a northern part of Nigeria, I was sleeping one sunny afternoon in my room, a snake was crawling into my room through the window, my buddy in room had to tap me for we to run for our lives. But I got out of the room and got a stick to strike the snake. If you wake up and your first sight is an unexpected visitor-snake, what will be your first reaction

If you scream and the snake is agitated and it is closer to the door than you are ,what will do. If comes for attack you are weapon free?

that is a very scary situation indeed. I think anyone would be shocked to see a snake just when they wake up, since most people are scared of them. I think i will just slowly move away though, after i recovered from shock.

Oh my goodness, i can't imagine what i would do if i were to wake up with a snake next to me. Though sometimes i do wake up with something next to me, a different snake!

Hello Chikezie What a dreadful experience for you!! I agree with you that waking to such a sight would demand screaming. I imagine I would scream loudly and with the great gusto!! Once, I was hiking and I was resting on the side of the mountain in the grass. I was dozing off and out of the corner of my eye I noticed the movement. I looked and it was a big snake slithering right for me! I stayed perfectly still, and it slithered under me and out the other side and continued on its way. In this instance, I did not scream. Another time two snakes were in my house. One was a harmless King snake, but the other was the venomous water mocassin. I was very creeped out by this. It gave me the heebeejeebees. Still, I did not awaken to such sights as this.

Well Chikezie, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't scream but as soon I changed my underwear, I would get my shovel and make sure that snake ends up in 3 pieces! Uggggggh! I hate snakes! Cheers, Stan

I hate snakes. My first reaction would probably be to find out how to get out of the room as fast as possible. I would not want to get bit, so getting away would have to be very strategic. Sudden moves on my part could be deadly, and it is something I would have to think about. Chances are a lot is depending on where the snake is and where I am. Sometimes it may be safe to run, sometimes it may be safe to let it slither away from you.

I'm not really sure what might be my response. I haven't encountered it yet but probably my response would be fight. I don't know what will I do because it depends on the situation. And also it depends with your adrenaline rush. Possible if situation persists and there is a chance to run. I would run. It's hard to risk your life.

I am afraid of snakes, and I even have nightmares where I suddenly find a snake in my bed. I am not sure how I would react if I woke up and discovered a snake next to my bed. I don't know much about snakes and I wouldn't be able to tell if the snake was dangerous or not. In my own country we only have two kinds of snakes and they aren't dangerous as far as I know. If it was a poisonous snake it would be a different situation and I would have to find a way to escape from the room and ask someone how to get rid of the snake.

I think that the first thing I would do is really just hope beyond all hope that I was dreaming about our scaly visitor. Of course, when it is obvious when it is not a dream then I would kind of start freaking. I don't see many snakes around these parts, so there are just going to be a lot of scariness and mysterious nature about snakes. So to find one in my bed. I think that I would just lay them for a minute, wide eyed, and find a way out of bed, slowly, and try not to be attack. Then hopefully I will find a way to deal with my unexpected bed mate. Of course, it would really come across as a surreal experience no matter how you slice it. It really just seems like a horrifying experience and one that I would not want to live through in real life.

Maybe my heart will stop beating and I will loss consiousness. I am very afraid of snake and I dont even want to see them or touch them even in the zoo. They are the scariest and dangerous animals in the world for me. I am hoping that I will never woke up first thing in the morning with snake with me. :)

Where I live there are no snakes. The few snakes we have are small, not poisonous and stay in the country. If something like that happened to me, I´d go to another country. I suppose that if I lived in a place with snakes, I would know how to deal with them.

Oh my God!!! I can't even imagine a snake beside me on bed... When I see it, I don't know what my reaction will be.. I would scream the hell out of me.. I don't know what will I do.. I'm little too much scared of snakes and don't know to deal such situations. I just hope when such a things happens.. I don't unknowingly touch the snake itself!!
