1st of all, please do not snake from a toilet. And 2nd, absolutely DO NOT use an even bigger snake in your toilet. Please.

Normal drain snakes break toilets. The spiral metal chips the edge of the porcelain where the bowl meets the drain, and it cracks. At that point, your toilet is doomed and will break. Seriously - They make special snakes just for toilets, called closet augers, and they are too short to help you with this issue.
