Sorry to freak you out, but they're probably behind your walls and in your ducts. I had locusts inside my cottage last week. I was up there alone for a holiday, and all week they were chirping. And there were a couple peeping frogs in my basement. I know how annoying that must have been for you, Where there’s a baby snake, theres 100 other baby snakes… and a big fat mother snake (mutha fuckin snakes).

Either way I'm very glad you escaped unscathed. Wonder how well you ended up sleeping thinking about what may have crawled into your apartment.

I was able to get behind it from a reasonably safe distance to get it right below its head, so I wasn't too worried. It actually didn't move much at all. Thanks for the tip though! Perhaps if it wasn't so late and I wasn't so tired, I would have tried something smarter :) Doing a little searching this morning, I can say it was certainly a baby copperhead. I'm pretty familiar with the things anyway, but wasn't too sure until I read about the lemon-yellow tail. http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/gaston/Pests/reptiles/copperhead-1.htm Eeikk!!

I had a friend that was bitten by a baby rattlesnake in Junior college. We found out that the baby snakes have little or no control over their "poison sacs", so while an adult will tag you with a reasonable amount of venom, the baby snakes have no choice but to completely unload their (proportionally large) venom sacs.
