lollymay13 tells us more.
Just so you all know, I am not afraid of my pet snake. The FML was a mixture of a) the snake had been in an obvious hiding place, a dark enclosed space, all along. And b) because anything that falls on your bloody head outside is going to give you a fright! He is healthy and happy, he didn't die, and has not escaped since! :) And as for all the St.Patrick comments.... 'driving the snakes out of Ireland' was a metaphor for the Catholics driving all of the Pagans out of Ireland. Of course there are real snakes here.... actually pagans too. Well there ya go! lol :) x

Use one of those spells from Harry potter to make it vanish.
Why is this an FML? You found your snake! I can see being a little surprised at having one land on your head, but if you are freaked out enough by snakes that finding it that way overshadows the relief of finding a lost pet, why would you have one anyway?
If a snake unexpectedly fell on your head after opening an umbrella, would you assume that it was your pet snake or get scared by the fact that it could be one of the thousands of wild poisonous snakes out there? Just saying, if I was missing a snake and that happened to me, I wouldn't "not get scared" because I would assume that it wasn't my pet.
Should've talked to it in Parseltongue
Why the **** would someone have a poisonous snake, and if they lost it, NOT panic about being bitten and dying? Or having someone else die because of it? My logic, thank you very much.
I have news for both of you: Snakes are never poisonous, though they are sometimes venomous. Huge difference. Huuuuuge difference. :P And FYI, some pet snakes are mildly venomous. Example: Western Hognose.
Was it alive?
Was it ok?
Now that just sounds like MY escaped snake ;)
