My doors are usually shut. Do you think this breed of snake is harmful?

obentenyson:
the snake is non venomous. That's a typical house snake. I don kill many of them before I later knew it was none venomous. Their teeth is like that of a lizard. They don't have long fangs like their poisonous cousins

Designer123:
Early this morning (around 12:02 am), I saw this snake on my lobby close to my toilet. I don't know where it came out from but there is a hole on my toilet where I usually see cockroaches. There is also an ant hole close to the toilet door. I don't know if it came out from any of those holes.

Also, does any one know the characteristics of this snake? Is it poisonous?

Do you think the snake offspring will be in my house?

This is the first time I am seeing snake in my house (the house is 11 years old). What can I use to repel snakes around my house?

Please help, I really need to address this. There is a 3weeks old baby on the other apartment. Thanks.

obentenyson:
the snake is not even a cobra bro. Calm down. Google house snake......

Designer123:
Yes. Two rats.

Donald3d:
Its most likely poisonous because of the color combination and skin texture. A close up picture would help identify it better.
But it looks like a cobra or a mamba.

There is a rule of thumb I always tell people to follow.
If a rat can enter your house, then a snake can enter too.

Block all holes, keep the environment clean, clear all bushes around.
Make sure your fence doesn't have holes, cement the top of the fence if it isn't cemented.
Dispose your waste as frequently as possible. They attract rats and rats attract snakes.
Fumigate often, not just inside, but outside as well.


I heard bitter kola repels them . Not sure if it does.

I read somewhere that garlic helps, lemon grass does too

Wow, do snakes get up to ceilings!?

Rats and rodents burrow or breaks the sewer line, a fully concretized tank may be hard to get in, but then you have to accept not all septic tanks are fully concretized, the waste tank being connected to the septic tank is a giveaway for rodents as it's not concretized for it to serve the purpose of soaking away waste. With this connection a lot of things can freely breed in the 2 tanks.
You points are valid sir, he surely needs to check other options, but going by the fact that he saw the snake close to the toilet give credence to the fact that it may be from the septic tank

Designer123:
This is great. Thank you very much sir.
I really do not understand that 2 soak away part. There are two apartments in the house. One soak away each and they are far from each other. I have been spraying chemicals. The chemical will kill the cockroaches and worms enmasse, but they will still come back later.
I will still pour more chemicals and cover the holes tomorrow and I will also yield to your other advices.
Can you throw more light on that soak away part and do you think the snake offsprings will be in my house? Thanks.

Just install CCTV in your room..

this is the most sensible post av seen in nairaland gosh I love you

Let me help your adviser, sanitary disposal sys, ie soak (small size) septic tank( bigger tank) are designed to connect together for proper disposal of your waste. So don't disconnect them because of pest, rather get your bricklayer or( if you can do yourself) to look around for openings into the tank and properly block it. The bigger tank is called septic tank and it has vent opening with 100mm pipe, by ideal design this opening should be covered with vent fittings and mosquito net, get your plumber to do this.
When next you and your friend are building new house use bio digester waste system instead of septic-soak away sys.
Also if you wants real controlled situation in your septic tank, instruct your plumber to use a fitting called 100mm or 4 inches non-return valve at the inlet and outlet pipes of tanks.
Well if need better consultations I won't charge much just 1million +

Jeboy:
Please I want to know if this blocking of holes in the toilet or bathroom applies to storey building. The fear in me now...

tunderoc:
That snake is probably a loner that chased rats into one of the soak away, but you can't totally ignore the fact that there may be more. The chemical will kill anything in the soak away that, but like you said they'll always come back. Best bet is to call a plumber to check if the soak away and waste are connected. You need to disconnect it, if connected. And going by your experience I am 100% sure they're connected. But professionally the two shouldn't be connected, as the waste is nothing but a breeding colony for mosquitoes, roaches and insects. The two should be runned with separate pipes.vThat's the only way to stop this unwanted visitors.
