This is what I expected. That is why I was sure I would find it in the book case, but no luck. I had a kingsnake escape in the fall, and it didn't show up until 4 months later outside our house sunning itself on a rock. I still don't know where it stayed for the winter, but it has been a little insane ever since then.

I will go over the whole room with a fine-toothed comb after work...
