You guyyyyyyys :(
A snake got into my apartment! It's kind of tiny and shy and almost certainly non-poisonous, but-- SNAKE. SHARING MY LIVING SPACE.
I repeat, I'm not afraid of being attacked mercilessly by the thing in my sleep. But man, first it was the roaches, then the earthworm coming up the bathroom sink drain (???), then the Pretty Big Spider, and now we have graduated to REPTILES. It's getting a little ridiculous.
But whatever. I satisfied myself that he was not dangerous, I got over it, I named him* and went on with my life. Until I started picturing myself getting up in the middle of the night for a drink of water or whatever, and stepping on him in the dark where he thought he was safe, and him biting the heck out of my toe. So I decided he had to go. I went back and started trying to catch him (cue "AAAAAAAAAHH *flail*") and finally got him within a foot of the door-- and do you know what? SUDDENLY he stops going along the carpet and starts heading... down into it. At first I'm like, "Oh, I guess the carpet is deeper there" or whatever, but more and more of him starts disappearing until finally, he's entirely gone. I started poking furiously at the place with a pencil, about his thickness, and I can find not even the beginnings of a hole.
I HAVE A MAGIC SNAKE PORTAL IN MY APARTMENT AUGH WHY
