The filmer said the 4-foot snake was found inside the toilet of the Houston-area home they rented using the accommodation-finding app. Advertisement The renter said animal control was summoned to remove the snake. The origins of the reptile were unknown. A Tennessee woman made a similarly unwelcome discovery in July when she opened the lid of her toilet and found a small snake swimming inside. Experts said the serpent in the footage shared by Christen Kiefert appeared to show a garter snake, a common species that is not venomous or dangerous.
