This is the shocking moment a snake was found slithering on a girl's bed in northeastern Thailand.

Video shows the creature slowly moving on the mattress in the bedroom in Ubon Ratchathani province.

Resident Nipha Salaklai, 12, was lying on her bed and using her phone when she suddenly saw the snake moving near her feet. The shocked girl called her father to get rid of the snake.

Nipha said: 'I didn't know what to do. The snake looked different so I thought it could be venomous.'

NIpha's father later freed the snake outside their home. It was identified as a Lycodon snake, also known as the oriental wolf snake. The species uses its fangs to inject venom into its prey but they are relatively harmless to humans.
