CHARLOTTE (WTVD) -- A family in Charlotte found an unexpected scaly guest in their kitchen over the weekend.
Laura Neff said she was enjoying a typical Sunday afternoon when she heard a noise.
When she went to the kitchen to inspect, she found a large black rat snake crawling out of her spice cabinet and lowering itself toward a basket of fresh eggs on the counter.
She said the snake was able to get into the home through a hole in the laundry room floor, which has since been covered with a concrete block and will soon be filled.
