Python found in toilet

By at 5:50 pm Wednesday, Dec 13

In Sydney, Australia's Northern Territory, a plumber brought in to clear a clog in a woman's toilet had to call for, er, back up after he spotted a snake in the pipe. It turned out to be a 7-foot python. Wildlife officer Peter Phillips rescued the snake and will release it into the wild. From the Associated Press:
"I arrived to see a large python head peering out of the toilet bowl," (Phillips said.)

Phillips removed the snake from the septic tank because he said it had grown too big to be pulled straight out of the toilet. The mostly nocturnal Carpet Python had probably taken up temporary residence in the septic tank because it was a good place to hide during the day and hunt for frogs.
