A man in Coral Springs, Florida, America, got the surprise of his life when he was bitten by a snake that slithered out of his toilet.
Florida police said the 52-year-old had gone to the bathroom when he lifted the toilet seat and a four-foot snake ‘rose up and bit him’ on the arm, the Sun Sentinel newspaper reported.
Police spokesman Chris Swinson said the town’s humane unit responded to the scene and removed the snake, later identified as a ball python.
“It’s everybody’s worst nightmare, but it’s in an apartment plumbing system, so there are many possibilities.
“The non-venomous snake might have belonged to a previous resident.” Chris added.
