Well that's what happened to a German woman earlier this year. Her immediate reaction was to call the police. Why not? There was an intruder in the house! Sneaking in the back way, no less.
"However, the reptile was in no mood to show itself to the officers so the fire brigade was called in. They opened a manhole in the garden and were able to remove it from the plumbing," a police statement said.
A snake expert was then called in as a reinforcement.
She identified the serpent as a two-year-old royal python, normally not dangerous to humans, and offered to take it home until the owner steps forward.
"Until we have cleared up whom the reptile belongs to, the police have registered it as a lost item," concluded the police statement.
