A young mother breastfeeding her child was shocked when a 10ft long cobra slithered into her living room.<br /> <br />Suwanan Phanking, 20, was holding her two-month-old baby girl when started to doze off - and the snake began its approach.<br /> <br />The mother was disturbed by the deadly cobra when it entered through a window of the home in Prachinburi, central Thailand on September 12.<br /> <br />Terrified Suwanan ran out of the house and screamed for help from neighbours before they called the animal rescue unit.<br /> <br />The aggressive cobra, a distinctive dark black colour with a flared hood, first tried to bite the rescuers then attempted to escape.<br /> <br />However, the skilful snake catchers were able to subdue the serpent and garb it by the neck after almost an hour of cautiously following it round the room.<br /> <br />Sommai Jeep, one of the rescuers, said: "The mother was lucky that she did not fall asleep with the cobra inside the house. It could have bitten her or the baby because it was looking for food."<br /> <br />No one was harmed by the cobra, which was released into the woods by the animal catchers.<br /> <br />Cobras can be found in woodland across Thailand but they often venture into homes in search of food or water. They cause thousands of deaths each year in Southeast Asia.
