A woman was given a scare when she discovered her neighbour’s snake in her bed in the dead of night.
Tasha Lane, 23, from Wellingborough, Northamptonshire, was asleep with her boyfriend Reece Parillon, 25, and their dog when she felt wriggling at around 4:15am under her duvet.
She initially thought it was her pooch Harley – but quickly realised it wasn’t soft fur touching her.

She opened her torch on her phone and peered under the covers – where she was met by the corn snakes eyes looking back at her.
Terrified Tasha then leapt out of bed and started screaming – alerting the rest of the house.
Partner Reece’s mum came rushing in, before calmly explaining that the orange reptile belonged to a local – and had been missing for months.
Tasha said: ‘I just leapt up and screamed. It was fully under the quilt. I shouted, ‘There’s a snake! There’s a snake!’.
Tasha claims the reptile, a corn snake called 10K (corr) was three quarters of the width of her king-sized bed
The snakes owner Jade said she doesn’t know how he managed to escape his glass enclosure, but it had been nearly three months since he went missing
‘I thought, ‘Oh my god it’s going to kill me.’ Reece looked under the covers and then he leapt up too. I’ve never seen anyone jump so high.
‘It was terrifying. Snakes weren’t even on my fear list but they’re right at the top now. It was just laying under the covers on Harley.
‘The dog had been on one of my feet and the snake on the other. You just don’t think you have to worry about snakes here.’
Reece’s mum quickly let neighbour Jade Forester know, who popped round and gratefully scooped up the missing pet.

Jade, 37, said: ‘I don’t know how he managed to escape, but it had been nearly three months.
‘We ripped my house apart looking for him – we took all the skirting board off downstairs – and after about three weeks we gave up.
‘So it was a complete shock! My son was definitely happy we found him as he was devastated when we lost him.’
Tasha claims the reptile, a corn snake called 10K (corr) was three quarters of the width of her king-sized bed.
She said: ‘It’s funny now. I’m glad they’ve got it back. It belongs to their little boy. They posted it was missing on a Facebook page and it had completely slipped my mind.’
Tasha added that she thinks the snake came into her house when someone opened the attic hatch.
