Due to drought affecting parts of Australia, there has been more than one incident of huge pythons hiding in people’s toilets in Townsville.
A local snake catcher, Elliot Budd, reported that “the first snake was 3m long (9.8 ft) and the second one was 2.4m (7.8ft)”. It was particularly tricky to remove the snake as it had a firm grip on the toilet’s S-bend, he said. He initially assumed the second call was a prank. The hot dry weather in Australia is consequently calling thirsty snakes indoors in search of somewhere cool and wet to revive.
