A very scary thing happened yesterday!

Right within my home, a terrifying thing happened! My husband and son say I overreacted, but I don't think so and luckily my husband was at home. He was about ready to leave for work and if he had been on his normal schedule, he would have already been on his way to work. Luckily, he was here! I was doing some housework and was walking down our main hall to the bedrooms, when I looked down at the edge where the carpet meets the wall, and there was an odd looking black thing sitting. It looked oblong and balled up. I called out to my husband and said, "is that a cock roach, it is some kind of bug, I think, but it could be a piece of plastic,, come look", so he came to look. He said it looked like a salamander and I said "eew" but that didn't totally upset me because I don't get scared of creatures like that , or lizards. But, then, with his paper towel in hand, as he reached down, he said, "oh, it is a small 4 inch baby snake, black with a yellow ring around it's neck"! I said, "oh no, I am starting to feel weird in my stomach"!!!! He took it out back and put it in the woods. Then he joked at me, saying, "where there are baby snakes, the Mama's are close by". I told him how scared that makes me and he laughed. He said they are not poisonous. But, I looked it up online to be sure. They are not poisonous but I am very scared of snakes and this is the first time in 27 years that we have lived in this house that a creature like that has ever been found within it's walls. I am still scared today. It freaks me out!! Laugh if you want, but it really frustrates me!
