Snek

Today, as I was rushing to get out for work, I opened my door just in time to witness a large snake slither into my home. I had no choice but to lock it inside and go to work. I've now spent several hours searching for it with my friends, and we can't find it. I'm scared to go to sleep. FML

Check your bedroom thoroughly, if he's not there shut the door put a blanket across the bottom, cover the vents with something that won't catch fire. You are welcome. (;

To do list: - Invent time machine - Go back in time - Find Steve Irwin - Bring him to the future - Deal with snake - Warn Steve about stingrays.

My worst nightmare! No way would I stay at my house, go to a hotel and call animal control asap

YDI for living in an area that a large snake is just sitting by your door

Yes, screw you op for having no control over others buying exotic pets and not being able to keep track of them. Or construction that might have forced them out of their habitats!

I call bs on this one. If your running off that quick you not going to leave the front door open for that long. Beside doors open in you were obviously inside the house I doubt you stood there as the snake went right past you.

Call Animal Control! Snakes are my biggest fear, and that's the first thing I would do. But hope you find that snake!

I'd rather call and say I'll be late for an hour than let a motherfucking snake lurking in my house.

I was watching this same situation on tv one time and they found around the coils of the frig.. So check behind it

As a former snake owner I can say for certain that a wild snake only strikes out when it is hungry or feels threatened. My advise to you is first put on jeans and boots of you have them. If not closed toed shoes and socks. Google "homemade snake traps" and get a mouse to put in it. Mice cost about $2-$4 at most pet stores. A funnel trap is probably your best bet. This is a sure fire way to catch the snake. I would advise you to have a sharp object close at hand in case the snake is a constrictor for obvious reasons. As far as the threat level of the snake if it any bigger around then a small water bottle and longer than about 4 feet then you might have a slight challenge on your hands. As far as snake bites go non poisonous snake bites feel about the same as getting stapled. I have been bit many times and it is 10 times more startling that it is painful. if you do run across this critter toss a large blanket on top of it. That should blind/disorient it enough for you to dispose of it or end it's existence if you choose that route. good luck in your endeavors and don't allow fear to run your life. It is just a snake after all.

Pfft, like OP is going to take advice from a snake. You WANT the mission to fail. I'm onto you, ballpython.
