Finding a snake inside your home can be frightening, but the safest response is to stay calm, back away, keep children and pets away, and avoid touching, chasing, trapping, or killing it. If possible, isolate the area without getting between the snake and an exit, then contact local animal control or a qualified wildlife professional for removal. Snakes may enter homes while searching for food, shelter, or suitable temperatures, so afterward it helps to control rodents, remove outdoor clutter, and seal gaps around doors, screens, foundations, vents, and pipes. If someone is bitten, move away from the snake, seek medical care immediately, and avoid dangerous remedies such as cutting the wound, sucking out venom, applying ice, or using a tourniquet.
