Hi Lyn,
According to this image, your snake is a Gray Rat Snake:

Here is some great information on the rat snake species:
http://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/site/accounts/information/Elaphe_obsoleta.html
Some excepts from the above referenced page: "They are not poisonous
and kill their prey by constriction. They tend to have a passive
demeanor and are often kept as pets." The sites I visited didn't say
how the snake could have gotten into your home, but, like me, I'm
sure you were alarmed!
I hope I've helped you!
Amy Figueras
