"I called my wife over, she took a look at it and she said, 'Yeah, it looks like we have a snake in the drain,'" Pete Bias said.Police called in a local pet store owner Craig Ost to remove the reptile."Luckily I grabbed it by the head," Ost said. "If I grabbed it by the tail, the thing probably would have scurried down the drain."It was not determined how Freddy wound up in the toilet but the Bias family suspects it entered the home through the sewer system.Watch Local 6 News for more on this story.
