Part of me wonders if it really found its way out of that mini-rose pot,
or if it got in some other way!?

if it is one of those dark/black plastic potted
types with holes in the bottom those can easily
attract small snakes as a home considering they
are often warmer and have gaps in the bottom where
they can hide.

closer inspection of the pot may give clues...
