Commentary for Ketubot 172:8

ת"ש אמרו לו לרבי אליעזר אין אדם דר עם נחש בכפיפה אי אמרת בשלמא לכתחלה שפיר אלא אי אמרת ע"י גלגול מאי נפקא לה מינה

Come and hear: They said to R. Eliezer, “No one can live with a serpent in the same basket.” Now if you will say that R. Eliezer meant the imposition of a direct oath this is understandable; but if you say [that he meant the oath to be imposed] by rolling it in only, why would this matter to her?
