I've had snakes get in the house before, so I suppose it is possible. Try to look at it logically. They can't hurt you. They are not venomous. If you do step on it, it's going to be much hard on it than you. Take a deep breath and do what needs to be done.
As you can tell, I'm a country girl. My boys used to catch baby garden snakes and watch them swim in the bathtub if I didn't pay attention to them. The snakes are no big deal to me. Of course, should I ever need to make my way through a huge, scary place like Toronto, I'll be holding your hand and hiding behind you! It's all in what you are used to in life.
