CLEVELAND, Ohio - It was another typical morning for Elese Martin. Shewas just making her way into the bathroom when she
thought she saw something floating in the toilet. What
she found when she bent over to peek into the bowl was
the majority of a five-foot-long boa constrictor. The
snake was attempting to slither its way into the
apartment via the plumbing but was still partially
trapped in the pipes. If Elese had walked in a few
minutes later she would have found the animal coiled
on the floor, or perhaps in the bathtub. Police
eventually caught it by using a noose designed for
handling wild dogs. Police say the snake may have been
a pet, but building managers say they would evict any
resident who had kept the reptile in the building.
