Couple awakes to rattlesnake near their heads

COLUMBIA, Tenn. (CNN) — Something no-one wants to experience: A sleeping couple wakes up to a snake near their heads.

The Tennessee couple was sleeping on the ground at the end of a dirt road when a deputy spotted a rattlesnake. At one point, it was even touching their heads.

The woman slowly moves away from the snake.
