How the frick does that get into the bathroom

I've probably had 5 snakes in my current house and 1 or 2 in the last one. Wife and kids leave doors open. I hear the unmistakable scream from my wife, ok where's the damn snake

Looks like a Dekay's Brownsnake, totally harmless.

If he's about 6 to 8 inches long, I'd say he's a little brown snake. They're harmless. They eat bugs out in the yard and they can hardly open up their mouth wide enough to bite your pinky finger. The last three dogs I've had bring them into the house and then slobber all over everything while they play with them.

Doing great man. Sober now coming up on 9 months and working full time in the FLA panhandle. Has a solid GF as well. It’s been really rewarding watching the turn around. Appreciate you asking

Did it have circle eyes or Diamond shaped.

Around here, that’s how to tell if it’s venomous or not.

Congrats on killing a Dekay's Brown Snake. They don't get much bigger than that and eat slugs and worms.

You're a badass.


He invaded that man's house. That snake got to die.

Rat snakes, corn snakes etc can enter your house through any outside door, including sliding doors on patio or deck. It always pays to take a look before stepping outside. They can crawl along garage doors and slip inside when you raise a door.

Do not ask me how I know these things….

No, he didn’t have to die.

Snakes can be caught and taken outside.
