This is exactly what occurred in Thailand, and pictures from the incident are now widely shared online. A family in Samut Prakan, Thailand, had a terrifying experience on March 17 when they saw a python springing up from their toilet bowl.

Following the distressing incident, a wildlife team was summoned to assist in extracting the 12-foot-long reptile trapped within the toilet’s plumbing system.

Suwi Paramas, a housewife, was washing her hands after visiting the restroom, according to News Flare, when a startling scene appeared before her eyes. A gigantic yellow-green reptile suddenly appeared in the bathroom, terrifying her to the core.

Filled with terror, Suwi ran out of the room. Her screams echoed through the house, and her husband and brother-in-law soon realized that something was very wrong.

They family rang the emergency services, who came to the rescue.

The wildlife crew secured the snake using a specialist instrument, as seen in video footage. Two men attempted to force the python out, but their endeavor was unsuccessful. It was challenging to maintain control, and things got worse.

”I was so scared. I couldn’t even watch why they were catching the snake. It could have killed me,” Suwi said, according to News Flare.

Eventually, with the consent of the family, a decision was made to break the ceramic basin, even with the snake still trapped in the curved section of the plumbing, known as the u-bend.

Its enormous stomach, however, made it difficult to pull it straight out of the hole. In order to assure the safety of both the snake and the plumbing system, the wildlife team had to take apart the pipework and rescue the snake from the other side.

Fortunately, everything was handled professionally; otherwise, things might have gone very differently. No accidents were reported, and the rescuers carefully removed the snake with the purpose of returning it to its natural environment.

Hopefully, this curious snake will remain there in the future.
