Most snakes, including boas, are strong swimmers.

Any reptile can swim and it isnt uncommon for a snake to crawl up a drain and end up in someones bathtub. Had it happen to me years back.

My neighbor down the hall with two of 'em, 6ft long ones. One of them is "missing". I am not a happy camper at this point in time.

:eek:

I wouldn't be either.

When I was 4, a snake came into our house. That was traumatic. Fortunately it was only a chicken snake.

We used to run a golf course with 2 creeks and snakes were always a concern in both.

Yep, and not uncommon for them to end up in the toielt either. Just do a google search of snakes found in bathtub or toielt, you will suprised how much it happens.

Wasn't one of his snakes on the loose a few months ago as well? I hope its found soon, I know how you absoultley hate snakes. Don't leave any small pets unattended for sure. :wink:

Yep O Town, this is not the first time. But this time Chris seems to be just a little panicked. I've poured all of my bleach and draino down my drains just for good measure.
