A friend tasked to capture the snake ended up with a non-serious bite on his hand as the Eastern rat snakes are not venomous.

However, the snake was relocated to its natural habitat.

Snakes have been known to seek shelter indoors in the past, with serpent surprises being discovered in locations including bathrooms, train cars, kitchens, hotel rooms, and office drawers.
