“Arlington County Animal Control said they received a call for a snake inside an apartment toilet, something that isnt that unusual.”
I’m surprised this is described as “something that isn’t that unusual” in Arlington County VA, but nobody else has commented on that so I must lead a sheltered life.
I grew up in Arlington and the only snakes in toilets I ever heard about were the ones that plumbers used.
Snakes need water and they’re *all* excellent swimmers.
Odds are it ended up there after hunting the sewers for rats.
Anacondas are usually kept in semi-aquatic vivariums.
I’m pleased that they gave it proper care rather than freaking out and killing it.
I would have commented earlier on this interesting observation, but I was still trying to pick myself up off the floor....
