Man found a python in the toilet for the second time in a week (3 photos)
Several photos have been published online. In one of the pictures, you can see a snake catcher pulling the long body of a reptile out of a toilet.
A resident of the Australian town of Maryborough has found a huge python in his toilet for the second time in a week, which had curled up and was lying calmly in the toilet. Upon seeing the reptile, the man immediately called snake catchers from the Hervey Bay Snake Catchers company, operating in Queensland.
Experts wrote on their Facebook page that the reptile managed to crawl right into an S-shaped bend, so they had to cut the pipe under the house, run water from one end and flush it from the other. They joke that the uninvited guest was visibly angry when he crawled out.
Several photos have been published online. In one picture, you can see how the snake catcher pulls the long body of the reptile out of the toilet. In other shots, it is held tightly in his hands.
However, this was not the end of the story for the owner of the house. Just a few days later, another snake of the same species visited his house. Hervey Bay Snake Catchers posted a second Facebook post with the caption: "Another python in the same toilet as a few days ago!"
The snake catchers later explained to People that coastal diamond pythons (or carpet pythons) are non-venomous and harmless to humans. The species is common in eastern Queensland and northeastern New South Wales, Australia.
The reptiles are usually found resting in trees and rooftops, but can also be found on the ground. They can grow up to 2.7-3.0 meters in length and are usually olive-brown in color.
According to the snake catchers, the homeowner who found the two reptiles was surprised by the encounter, but remained calm.
