No, No–Not That Kind of Snake!

Chances are you’ve seen a plumber use his “snake” to unclog a pipe in your bathroom. But you don’t expect to see live snakes, real snakes, coming out of your toilet!

How did the snakes in these videos get into the toilets in the first place–and what made them want to go there in the first place?

Note the great care exercised in removing the snake. But for the hapless person who trustingly sat down… oy!

Scary Video! Rattlesnakes’ Den

Mama mia! That’s one heckuva lot of rattlesnakes!

Hi, Mr. Nature here. And if you’ve ever wondered where snakes go for the winter, this is where: they get together in a big mob and wait out the cold in a hole. This is because they’re cold-blooded and if they jam themselves together, they can keep each other warm. It’s not that they’re compulsively sociable or anything.

Many kinds of snakes spend the winter in dens. On rare occasions, they may decide that someone’s house would make a really comfy den, and in they go.

It’s fall now, so they’re going to be heading for their dens. And you are soooo in trouble if you step into such a hole! So don’t.
