Honey, I shrunk the snake

Location - IIT Bombay hostel room
First Year
A tiny little snake, caught near the toilet. Googled its color and markings and confirmed as non - poisonous.
Still managed to scare quite a few.
It was fun holding it in my hands, making it go from one palm to another in an endless loop, making it feel it was covering a lot of ground.
We let it go later.
But I still wished I knew Parseltongue.
