I hope your laundry was somewhat accessible from outside so a "native" just happened to slither in...if so letting it go outside was the best choice...unless it was a lost pet.

Given the right conditions it doesn't take long for invasive species to take hold...look at south Florida with pythons and iguanas.. and PA / NJ with the dammed spotted lantern flies...among hundreds of other invaders...
