A live white python fell from the ceiling of Tacoma General Hospital, according to an article on the Q13 News website.
A visitor brought the snake to the hospital in a cat carrier full of stuffed animals.
The snake was found when it came out of the ceiling ventilation.
Ball python snakes are not venomous and the constrictors don't usually get large enough to pose a danger to humans.
