Snakes in my bathroom pipes?

Question

i took apart my bathroom sink pipes to find out why i had slow drainage. i pulled out what looked like the skin and internal remains of a black snake!! how can this be? i have a double sink set up with a T pipe so the hole is not big enought to allow this size snake, about 12 to 14 inches long. has anyone else had this problem? this happened to me once before in a brand new home i purchased in Florida a couple of years ago.

Scary!!

Answer 1

The most probable location this snake got into your drains is through the vent pipe on your roof. This is not an uncommon problem. I've seen snakes in toilet, squirrels, rats, birds. The best thing to do since this problem seems to follow you where ever you go is to go up on the roof with a mesh screen much like the screen on your windows and put over the vent pipes. you can use a strong commercial glue, tape, or whatever you can think of to keep the screen on. Make sure it is a screen so that it allows the proper the air in that you need for your pipes to drain properly but fine enough to where no varmints can enter the system. good luck

Answer 2

The snake could have gotten into the piping when the house was built and before the plumbing was completed. The drainage pipes sit for a few weeks before the house is built. They are open at this time and this is probably how the snake got in there.
