LOL, Sunflower, you sound about as calm as I would be if I found a snake in my house. I once found a copperhead sleeping in my lawnmower and levitated 10 feet in the air. Did it in with a huge mallet.

If you have a cat, the cat may have brought the snake in the house. My cats do.

Best thing to do is just find a way to coax him outside (unless you don't mind a little blood and are truly afraid it could be poisonous, then kill the beast). Then keep your eye out for more. If you see more call an exterminator. If you can keep it in something for a while then you could research it. If you're lucky it's a bull snake, they eat other snakes (or at least scare the hell out of them, I know a guy that used a bull snake to clear the rattle snakes out of his IBM floor).
I know how you feel though, I hate snakes. I can handle just about any creepy crawly, except snakes.
