Nope. I once killed a baby moccasin that'd evidently crawled up from a pipe or something. Two whacks from the butt of a No. 4 .303 rifle did him in, in a hallway. Never say that a .303 isn't enough gun for water moccasins.
All we could figure is that it must have gotten in through the drain in the bathtub, but how'd it get out of the tub?! Length was about ten inches. As far as we knew (I was married then) we didn't have any holes in the apartment walls that'd admit one.
But we killed a mouse or two there, and it may have gotten in however the mice did.
My wife was not amused. She hates snakes. We were afraid of the bathtub from then on, but had to risk it, of course. I should mention that the snake was in the bathroom when first seen, but in the hall outside the bath when I killed it.
For that and other reasons, we were happy to move when our lease was up.
