I threw a shoe box over it, slid a thin book underneath, carried it outside, and tossed it into our backyard. I have a theory of how it got in now....which means it may have been my fault.
Our "laundry room" is in our garage, and a few times I have left clean clothes in the basket, by the dryer. I'm thinking the snake got in the garage, and thought it might be nice to snuggle up inside some warm clothes, and found it's way into the basket. When we saw it in the bedroom, it was right next to one of the laundry baskets I had recently brought in. So....that was good times.
