I was awoken by a snake behind my back, pressing against my back in the middle of the night. I rolled backwards on top of it (I had been sleeping on my side) to double-check I wasnt dreaming. Sure enough, the ******** pushed back up and muscly-wriggIed along its length. I v. Slowly rolled back on to my side and lay there still for about 60 seconds, expecting it to slide away. It then whacked me midback up to my shoulder-blades with a coil section about 1.5 foot across - which I could sense was about maybe 50-65mm diameter thickness from the hard welt sensation. I lay there for a further 30 seconds, feeling no other motion, then decided just to kill it so I could get back to sleep.
I leapt off the bed and turned on the light and quickly looked back at the bed. I didn't see it. I prowled the bedroom with a length of computer plug wire for 15 minutes, but couldn't find the *******. I went back to bed and fell asleep with the light on and door shut.
One of the kids and I just turned my room upside down looking for it. We still haven't found it. Im guessing its still in the house - I mistakenly left my bedroom door open for 30 minutes when I got up this morning.
I suspect its maybe the same snake I saw the tail end of slither under the hedge at our front door one night last week. Yesterday late afternoon I had a gardener service in to trim that hedge n grass. The small gap at the garage doors -8ft away woulda let it in.
