Summary A woman called police to say her adult daughter found a snake in her bathtub.
TEXAS (AP) — Police in Texas have safely removed a 3-foot-long snake that a woman discovered in her bathtub.
Nobody was hurt in the incident before dawn Tuesday.
Sgt. W. Patrick Swanton says a woman called police to say her adult daughter found a snake in her bathtub and needed help removing it. The daughter had called her mom after finding the snake.
It was a rat snake, which isn t venomous.
Authorities aren t sure how or why the snake ended up coiled in the tub. Swanton says it s possible the snake was flooded from its habitat during recent storms, ended up in a drain line and wiggled its way up into the tub.
Police removed the snake and released it into some nearby woods.
