Can confirm. My brother had a boa constrictor about this size and he'd put the snake and a mouse in the bathroom down in the unfinished basement for a couple of hours. This time the mouse was still there. The snake gone. SIX MONTHS LATER... 1)https://t.co/DGHqkAQr2F

AT 2:00 a.m, heard a large crash in the 2nd floor bath. Dad yelled-"Jesus Christ, I FOUND THE GD SNAKE!" The toilet kept running, so he took the tank cover off, and the snake was in the tank with it's head through one of the holes in the back! Dad rescued Igor. 2)

I had an older gentleman living next door to us in Redondo that was so worried about this he poured cement into his toilet bowl and started using a cat litter box. He was taken to a home not long after his daughter found out about this.
