First off, there wasn't time to take pictures, so if you want to reply NPDH, so be it. DW found one of our cats (Casper) playing with a small snake on the floor. She went into hysterics, and yelled out for me. I was on the throne at the time, so she got one of the translucent plastic bowls from the kitchen and dropped it over the snake.
It was in a tight coil just striking out. Couldn't tell how long it was, but it was a young one. When I got there told her to get a manilla folder. I slipped it under the bowl and scooped the snake inside so I could pick it up. I thought it was a black racer, which we have in abundance outside.
I carried it outside to let it go. When in the sunlight, I could see the pattern on its back, and brought it back into the house. She kept yelling to flush the thing down the toilet. So, I did, and saw that it was about a foot long, maybe 16". I flushed a few times.
I then ran about 5 gallons of water down the toilet. We are on sewer, and she was worried that it may find its way back up. Since, she has checked the toilet before using. It was almost as exciting as when we got a loose bird in the house and the dogs and cats went wild.
