Snake Living in Sewer Pipe Found In Toilet!
www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_1577261.html
The snake had terrified tenants since it was first spotted in a toilet last week, reports the Mirror.
It's believed to have been living in sewage pipes for three months after being abandoned by an evicted tenant three months ago.
People had to put bricks on their loo seats to stop the snake, which has been named Keith, slipping into their bathrooms.
Firemen were called in to try to track him down in the pipework but a brave resident of the West Didsbury flats finally trapped him in a bucket.
Keith is now in the care of the RSPCA.
Spokesman Jimmy Ratcliff, an expert on exotic animals, said: "They can swim very well and can hold their breath for more than 20 minutes - though what is out of the ordinary is the size of this snake.
"It has probably been eating rats in the sewer, where it appears to have been living quite happily."

Considering how a standard siphon toilet is made and the diameter of the inner works I would say it is likely that is a staged photo and not the actual loo-lurker. It seems to be too large to be popping in and out of toilets and if it was in the pipes of this complex whole floors would have been flooded from backed-up pipes.

That is what I noticed too Nicole. That is one huge snake to be traveling through the pipes. I wonder if that is the real snake since they say the guy trapped him and put him in a bucket, or if they modeled that one for a picture. Hum????
