Apparently they can crawl along sink plumbing and will get in if it isn't sealed.
My husband told me a story that happened before we met. He was with a friend who was looking at a home to buy or maybe it was a rental. The realtor was showing the kitchen and there was a BIG snake lying across the curtain rod above a slider door. I don't know what kind of snake it was but it took up a good portion of the curtain rod.
