Maybe you read fiction, but it does happen.  It happened to my father
in Nevada, circa 1925-30.  Snake crawled into sleeping bag.  He slipped
out carefully and dumped bag out.  No problem.

In those days he normally wore almost knee high boots to protect against
snakes. When I tried them on as a kid they were crotch high.
