Trivia

• The alternative title to this episode was "Snakes in a Suburb", a reference to the 2006 film Snakes on a Plane.
• This episode was to be the season 11 premiere, but due to delays in the animation, it was pushed back two weeks.
• The events in this episode are at odds with the episode "Not in My Back Hoe" (Season 4, episode 8) in which Hank clearly states that he has a septic tank instead of a sewer connection. When Bill gets a new tank and they can't find where the old one is, Bill asks Hank where Hank's septic tank is. Hank answers: "Side lawn, eight feet out. Nine feet, seven inches from the pavement."
• The sign saying “SNAKE CONTROL ROOM—DO NOT DISTURB” is in Akbar, the font based on Matt Groenig’s lettering.
