A Tennessee woman found herself in a pretty terrifying situation earlier this month when she arrived home from work to find a copperhead snake lurking near her front door.

Nashville’s Haley McCormack explained to CBS News affiliate WTVF Channel 5 that she had gotten home after the sun went down, so she didn’t notice the venomous snake lurking in the bushes until she was right upon it.
