This is the horrifying moment a woman found a HUGE hissing snake beside her bed.<br /><br />Claire, a woman in Apex, North Carolina, arrived home one afternoon to an unwelcome visitor... a long black rat snake slithering in the corner of her room. <br /><br />Claire told Newsflare: "A few years ago, my husband and I had just gotten back from a trip. I was tired and while he was showering, so I decided to take a nap. <br /><br />"When I looked at the bed, I saw what looked like a snake but it was super dark so I turned the lights on just to make sure that it wasn’t... I knew there was no way that was even possible, but being the paranoid person that I am, I decided to check anyway. <br /><br />"Thank goodness I did! It was a massive black rat snake that had somehow gotten into our basement apartment. We ended up trapping it after a lot of coaxing, sweat, and tears, and letting it go outside. We moved shortly after!"<br /><br />The unnerving clip from October 2017 went viral for the first time in May 2020 after it was posted on TikTok, where it boasts over 7.1 million views.<br /><br />Rat snakes are commonly four to six feet long and nonvenomous.
