Yeah this, but also search high up places, snakes are excellent climbers.

Also, perhaps get a friend's dog to sniff search. Carefully of course.

Twice is hardly a lot.

I hope I'm missing a reference to something because that was the strangest thing I've read today.

Strange? Dude, have you SEEN your profile pic? *shudders*

Anyway, youtube "Red Dwarf." Then, after you get the gist of the show, try youtubeing "Red Dwarf Quarantined." Don't know if you'll find the reference that way but I think it's your best shot. You're welcome.

What if it's a ninja snake?

This is for the old fmlers, check under yout umberella

Just trying to help onlychild...

This first comment is great advice. Especially TourettesGuy, always listen to animals! The dog will take you right to it. I understand being afraid to fall asleep considering it will probably try to find something warm to cuddle up to of it didn't find the furnace etc.

What are you going to name it, OP? :D

Fluffy. Mr. Slithers. Bob.

Name him Charmander. Since you saw the snake, do a little research on the interwebz and try to narrow the species down a bit. Depending on where you live, it's probably just a Garter snake and the worst it's going to do is shit in your house. If it's a black mamba, run the fuck away.

I called Animal Control to get a skunk from my house, they wouldn't come unless I knew exactly where it was. I didn't.

I would just put out a heat lamp. They love heat.

Melissa, that's actually a brilliant plan, in fact you can blast the air in the house, and leave one heat lamp in the middle of the house to draw it out. It can't service in the cold.

"They see me slytherin, they hatin.."

Getting hugged by a snake isn't all too fun, they tend to not want to let go.

Snake: LET ME FUCKING LOVE YOU!!! *squeeze* *crack* *squish* Whoops.

...and then slowly kill you.

The killing is only him showing how much he loves you. :)

For one snake? Please. OP doesn't even know if its venomous or not.

"OP doesn't even know if it's venomous or not." EXACTLY! Although there are more efficient ways of getting rid of the snake. Animal control, perhaps?

The bright side is that it wasn't a spider.

Pipes! Don't forget any piping. My snake was a master escape artist and could always be found snuggled up under the kitchen sink around pipes! They need the warmth.

I agree completely

Are you Indiana Jones????

Snakes.. Why did it have to be snakes..

Snakes aren't that bad, I like snakes

if that thing slithered into my house id have a fucking heart attack, id call 911 animal control cia fbi anything to find that motherfucker im scared shitless of snakes

Most snakes prefer to kill their food...so it would have to be a live mouse.

It may not be immediately hungry. Many snakes can happily go more than a week without eating. And if it's really large, a mouse may be too small for it to care about. I'd go with calling animal control.

That's actually a pretty good alternative for pest control

Or in the mattresses.

Wow, you retell it so well!
