Woman Sleeps With Snake Every Night, Until Doctor Shows Her What’s Inside

Morning Moves

One night, a little after 2 a.m., Mel woke to an empty bed. She was so groggy (the neighbor’s dog had kept her up with its incessant barking) that she immediately fell back asleep. Fang was probably on the floor.

In the morning, just as she thought, the snake was back on the bed, twirled around her legs as usual. She later prepared his meal, but he didn’t seem very hungry.
