I woke up and nearly put my foot on a 2ft long snake that somehow got up to the 2nd floor. I screamed and ran out of the room and started crying. I HATE SNAKES and am TERRIFIED of them. I am still shaking 6 hrs. later. I spotted it later going down the stairs. I used a stick to bang the steps (screaming & crying)till I got it to go to the bottom of the stairs. I opened the door to the outside and pushed the screen door open with the stick.
I am totally freaked out wondering if there are more in the house. I live in the country and have seen them outdoors which is bad enough.
I called my best friend and she came and we took everything out from under the bed and she took everything off the floor in the closet. I have 2 dressers to take out after I get the courage to check the drawers. I don't know if I will be able to sleep tonight. I shoved a towel under the gap of the bedroom door to keep it/them from getting out/in.
I have had a phobia about snakes since I was a kid. Maybe the garden of Eden snake thing has something to do with it. I really don't know. I know this type of snake is not poisonous but I still don't like them. Thx for letting me share. -Leslie-
