I've heard of toilet snakes, but this is ridiculous.

I guess...Snakes don't bite and hang on like a crocodile..they more so 'strike' then do something else.

Also no man while urinating wouldn't see a snake in the toliet.

Article I read as well as a radio report said he was sitting on the toilet.

Pythons attack with a bite first.
Their numerous teeth are curved and point to the back of the throat, so critters can go further down, but not back out.
Once they bite, they set their teeth further in by working their head and jaws from side to side while rolling loops around their target. Their grinding the bite to set the teeth hurts of course, but the teeth are small so it's not all that bad.
The main thing is, if you just yank your hand, or whatever, out you'll tear gashes in yourself as well as pull out some of the python's teeth.


I walked into the kitchen and got some plastic spatulas to push into the mouth to fold the teeth back in, so it wasn't a big deal for me. It's kind of like stumbling into a rose bush. You want to disentangle rather than just leap back out.


I kinda doubt that guy had any kitchen tools handy in the bathroom. Next time he'll be ready, maybe.
Why the heck do people like to keep potentially deadly animals as pets? Is it some sort of psychological high, or some form of machismo, or something?

And if CNN is on a parallel to the Onion, MSMBC must play in the same league with Ding Dong School, MiniPage and Weekly Reader.
