There are certain things we don't want getting too close to us.

A 24-year-old woman in Humpty Doo, Australia, Hailee Skinner, got an unexpected and unwanted surprise while resting in her bed. Skinner got an up close and personal encounter with a snake.

The terrifying ordeal started when she returned home from a dinner and put a movie in before hopping in bed. That's when she felt something crawling across her legs.

At first, she suspected it was a gecko so she kicked her leg in an effort to fling it on the floor. Skinner was successful, but when she looked down, she realized the seductive creature was a snake.

Skinner screamed then called her family members for help. She stated "I've never been friendly with snakes. My biggest fear in the moment was that it would bite me then go off into the house and we wouldn't be able to find it."

Skinner's brother was responsible for containing the serpent. He believed it to be an olive snake, which measured approximately 23 and a half inches long.

The snake was released into a nearby swamp.
