maybe the snake was in the load before she threw it in the machine. It could have been hiding in the dirty laundry. It was probably a male snake and drawn to the scent on her dirty underware and blue jeans. but keep in mind folks the only snake you must fear is the one-eyed snow snake. if you are outside in the winter it will crawl up your butt and freeze you to death

A large snake can squeeze through quite tiny openings, and an 8 foot retic. is strong enough to push a pipe screen out of its way. This type of occurance is not that rare any longer, with people dumping exotic pets in places where they do not belong. I worked in an animal facility for years and you wouldn't believe the calls we'd get! Snakes in the john(usually due to Junior's poor skills as a herpotologist) are NOT rare any longer! Uncommon, maybe, but not rare, and darned funny!

If anyone thinks that this cannot happen, then I suggest you think again.Many years ago in the Fort Lauderdale area of Florida a man went to use the commode when all of a sudden a scream as loud as could be was heard. It seems that while seated and reading a sports magazine, from inbetween his legs a snake emerged from the toilet. I never would have believed this could happen but I was with my family at this home for a holiday get together that evening.Since then, before I use any bathroom, I flush the toilet and if someone has placed the lid in the down or closed position, I always very cautiously lift it up never knowing if an unwanted surprise is waiting.

i FIND THIS STORY QUITE IMPOSSIBLE TO BELIEVE. UNSCREW THE HOSE FROM THE BACK OF YOUR WASHER LOOK INSIDE THE CONNECTION ON THE MACHINE YOU WILL SEE A SCREEN BLOCKING THE INLET PIPE SO NO WAY THIS COULD HAPPEN.SOMEBODY PUT THE SNAKE IN THE MACHINE.

Are you forgetting that this farm house is not "new"? The plumbing is probably at least 50 years old. Pipes were wider than now (because pressure was less then) and few, if any, barriers for the snake. Thank you Melissam for setting the record straight. The python COULD HAVE gotten into the pipes.

Noo wayyy did thet snake get into the washer thru either the inlet or disscharge ports, both have Normally Closed solenoid valves, the inlet valve is 5/16", the size of a pencil, and on the disxharge, he would have to pass thru the centrifugal pump, while it is running!
