[corn poop snake!]
Pierce County sewer snake is real
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
UNIVERSITY PLACE -- Sewer workers at Pierce County's wastewater treatment plant at University Place have seen a lot of things over the years.
But they were surprised by a sewer snake that turned out to be the real thing.
The county says a worker performing routine maintenance this week at the Chambers Creek plant opened the cover of a screening device and found a 4-and-a-half-foot-long snake.
When the mechanic, Jason Robinson, poked it with his radio antenna, it reared up. When supervisor Scott Roth arrived to take a look it struck at him.
The reptile, identified as a white corn snake, was removed with a rake and turned over to the Humane Society.
