I flushed a baby water mocassin down the toilet--is there any chance it can swim back up?

Next time you sit at the toilet, spread your buttocks wide and enjoy.

What are you, 8 years old, murdering wildlife for no reason?

Next time let it go near a creek, or just leave it alone in the first place. If you live in venomous snake country they will always be around, no matter how you deal with one individual. The safest thing to do is not bother them. They don't hunt people.

Unfortunately Bob is also his brother and his nephew.

I am guessing you have a septic tank. If you had a sewer connection you would have enough sense to know there is no chance of the snake coming back.

If you have a septic tank with a leech field, look up how that thing works. The anaerobic bacteria in your tank will pretty much eat away the snake.

Surely you realize those are fake news.

HAHAHAHA!!

How old are you? 16? I can´t believe how easily fooled some people are. If they told you a crocodile had crawled out of someone´s toilet, would you still believe them? How about an elephant? A giraffe?

The harm a baby water moccasin can cause is paltry compared to what those two psychos you live with may do.

Correct answer.

Have you tried sleeping with your eyes open?

Are you quite sure it was a "water mocassin"? There are numerous water dwelling snakes that are not venomous and can resemble Cottonmouths.

Either way, I don't understand why people feel the need to kill venomous snakes they find outside. There are more out there. You really aren't making yourself any safer by killing one. It's better to just leave them alone, or if possible, relocate them. They aren't going to bite you unless provoked.

I'm assuming this is a troll, but I'll reply anyways. First off, just leave the snake alone next time. They won't do anything. If you really have to kill it, the best thing to do is go in your garage, grab a shovel, and cut it's head off. I live in Florida, and we encounter a lot of rattlers, this is the way to go. As for the thing slithering back up the drain-- are you serious? This isn't a sci-fi movie. There is literally no chance of a snake slithering UP a VERTICAL pipe. If it were possible, we'd be hearing about it a lot more in Florida.

Still pretty sure this is a troll, disappointed in myself for typing a serious reply.

OP here. Not a troll, but I'm not a plumbing expert or herpetologist either.

Not surprisingly, didn't sleep too good last night. We're pretty sure it was a water mococassin given the scale pattern on the top of its head. Plus I've read they have a foul smell and this one smelled bad.

I know it was a young'un but aren't baby pit vipers as venemous as mature ones, or am I getting that confused with some species of poisonous spiders?

I had also thought about just releasing it, but what if it later attacked a neighbor or a pet? Then I'd have to live with myself knowing I could have prevented that from happening.

But now I'm also wondering if can and will resurface in someone elses toilet.

Among the 100's that are in your area that you never see, I'm sure the one you found was the killer of the bunch.

Well done, Rambo.

Geezus dude, what were you going to do? Release it in front of your next door neighbor's front door?

If you're that worried about it, put the damn thing in a pillow case, drive 20 miles to a swampy area and release it.

Water moccasins have the ability to tell when there is something above the water, no matter where they are. Therefore, this snake, will most likely swim back up into the toilet bowl while you are sitting on it with your a-hole as the most likely place it will slither.

Didn't you ever see the movie Alligator from the 80s??? they do this exact thing and then it grows up in the sewer and becomes 30 ft long!

You're right. The police lied and the hundreds of news outlets that reported the stories were all duped. And Neil Armstrong never walked on the moon.
