Snake just came out of the ceiling!!!

Ok, I now know the feeling of complete and utter paralyzing terror. I
always laughed at how they show people freeze up in the movies, but
now I know it's totally true.
It's the King's birthday here and Dennis and I were out for dinner at
the beach with friends. We got home and were just standing in the
kitchen talking and stuff, when we heard this major scrambling coming
from inside the ceiling right above our heads.
We know we have rats in the ceiling that we've not been able to do
anything about, so we just joked that our rat friends were very active
tonight. Suddenly the scrambling stopped and we were looking up at
the ceiling when a snake appeared from the corner where there's this
fuse box. I had never noticed this, but the plaster is cracked away
above the fuse box and there's a hole there. You can't see it unless
you actually stand outside the kitchen because the fuse box blocks it.
So there we were, watching frozen in terror as this snake appeared and
fell to the ground. Suddenly I just lost it and started screaming
hysterically and made for the door. But in my terror, I couldn't get
the door open, I just kept fumbling with the knob and screaming and
Dennis was behind me trying to help and we were just interfering with
each other and I was more afraid than I'd ever been in my life.
Suddenly we got the door open and I ran out into the road and screamed
some more and neighbours started appearing. But Dennis was still
inside and I kept yelling at him to get the hell out of there. But he
said he better keep an eye on it to make sure it didn't get into the
rest of the house. The snake went under the fridge and Dennis got
this Burmese sword that we have and I ran to the neighbour's and
between hysterical hyperventilations, got the message across about
what was happening.
So the neighbour and her husband, their 2 dinner guests and their maid
ran over to our house all bearing various gardening implements.
Dennis and the neighbour's husband ended up coaxing the snake out from
under the fridge after the maid sprayed a bunch of bug killer under
there. They pretty much squished the head and Dennis stabbed it with
the sword and took it out on the road.
First we thought it was dead but it was still moving. A car came
along and we hoped it would drive over it but it missed. So the maid
beat on it with a stick a whole bunch and when everyone decided it was
good and dead, she stuffed it down the sewer grate.
The neighbour lady told me that the maid had thought that Dennis was
beating me up because I was screaming so much. Apparently she was
peeking out the window trying to see over here to see what was going
on. I guess that kind of thing might be common place over here in
Thailand but I'm a little offended that she would think Dennis would
do such a thing. She's our maid too and knows him!
Everyone eventually went back to their houses.
Dennis and I stuffed a whole bunch of steel wool pot scrubbers in the
hole in the ceiling. Tomorrow we will get that spray foam stuff and
spray it up there. And we'll keep the kitchen door closed tight
tonight. Still I don't know how well I'll sleep :-(
I may need a drink.
Oh, and tomorrow I'm calling the landlord and telling him to take his
rent increase and stuff it where the sun don't shine.

Was this a poisonous snake???? Or did anyone ever bother to identify it
before killing it?
I know there are a lot of hazardous-to-humans snakes in your area, but
still, some ID would be best before killing it. It might have been
harmeless, and could very well have dispatched the rodent problem in your
ceiling/attic area.

I always try to identify a snake before fleeing - but some people have
phobias, which I understand... my brother is one - I remember a story he
emialed me ages ago, not too long after hi & family moved to rural New
Mexico (about 40+/- miles east of Albuqeurqeu). The entire family had gone
for an 'exploring walk' through their area (gravel & dirt roads until you
get to the "main" highway), and upon return, kids went to play in the yard,
while by bro entered the house through the garage. There was a 6+ foot long
snake in the garage, between him and the door to the kitchen. Bro hollered
for his wife (no snake phobia in her) while he did what he described as his
"anti-snake dance" around the perimiter of the garage until he got to the
kitchen door - where upon he promtly exited the garage. All he remembers of
the snake after that is seeing his wife releasing it just outside their
yard - she had aparently just walked right up to it and captured it (a-la-
Jeff Corwin, san's 'snake-stick'), and calmly carried it out back. It was
one of the many species of King snakes - non-venomous. And I have pictures
of my bro from back in the mid-1960's in Oklahoma, at a zoo holding a 6+
foot *rattlesnake* - devenomed, and probably defanged to boot. This snake
was longer than my bro (about 5-6 years old at the time) was tall!

Wow. I would have probably been just about as bad. I'm glad Vino didn't try
and get the snake!

Neither me nor Dennis has a clue about what kind of snake it was. One
neighbour lady that came along said that it will make your flesh rot
if it bites you. Good enough for me.
Frankly, I don't care either way. There's no way I could have lived
in the house with a snake in the ceiling, even if it was not
poisonous. I just shudder to think what I would have done if Dennis
had been gone at work. He's leaving on Wednesday.

there gorging himself on rats, no?

Agreed.

I'm normally not one to kill snakes on sight because locally I recognize our
two poisonous common snakes. The others are free to go.

But Thailand is tropical and tends to have some of the deadliest snakes in
existance. I'd say that's enough for me to maintain a zero tolerance policy

Wish I didn't know that feeling of ice cold bottom of the stomach complete
terror, but I do. I was sunbathing in our back yard many years ago when my
little dog set up an unholy rucas. There was a good sized snake slithering
across the lawn towards me. I absolutely froze. Then broke and ran in a
wide circle to get around the horror to get in the back door. Then had to
go back out twice more to within a few feet of the monster, first to get the
dog who was still yapping her fool head off a few feet away. And again to
get the addlebrained cat who was even closer and all puffed up.

I know now it wasn't a rattle snake. And I'm not even especially afraid of
snakes. It was all the situation and I was completely terrified.

I like snakes, but I have a friend who is a herpetologist and she has
several venomous species in her home--like spitting cobras and coral
snakes. I remember getting this really weird feeling during lulls in
the conversation, from the knowledge that I was going to spend the
night below a roomful of venomous snakes.

Her snakes are very cool as long as they are IN their cages

I wouldn't freak if I found a snake in my house, but I don't think Nova
Scotia has any venomous species. Thailand is something else again.

Shame you couldn't've mailed your "visitor" to my friend.

Oh . My. Goodness!!!

I would have screamed the house down too, Britta! Thank goodness Dennis and
your neighbours were there! And yes, I'd also be teling hte landlord to go
