What would you do if you went to the restroom to find a huge python curled up inside your toilet? “Maybe it happens once every couple of years, if you’re lucky”. If it’s not big spiders or terrifying sharks, it’s a mother truckin’ three metre snake just having a kip in your toilet, along with his buddy too.

“The first one I got, the house was being renovated so it was a few tradesmen working there that came across it. I was definitely a bit surprised when it was in the toilet”.
Oh yeah – and there was more than one of them.
All but the second snake’s head was inside the toilet piping, Mr Budd said. “I’ve had one on the top of a garage roller door, so when I put the door down it nearly fell on top of me…”
Mashable reports that the two snakes (the shorter one only eight-feet long) were discovered in a toilet when the reptiles decided that they needed someplace a little cooler and damper to live than the hot and dry weather in Queensland.
“I hoped my days pulling snakes out of toilets were over”, he said in a Facebook post. The snakes were 3 and 2.4 metres long respectively. “The lady very much wanted to get it out”, he said.
Budd did go on to say though that these snakes were not necessarily unsafe and were non-venomous; “They’re considered to be harmless to people. They’re not something to fear but it’s best if you come across them to leave them alone”.

“At the moment it’s the snake breeding season and so males are moving around anyway and while they’re moving around they’ll be losing water and so they may have a special need for water now”, reptile expert Professor Lin Schwarzkopf said.
