5 Year-Old Boy Finds A 3ft Long Python Hiding Inside Toilet by obafemee80(m): 1:17am On Sep 05, 2017 |
A five-year-old boy was shocked to discover a python inside his toilet when he lifted up the lid. He was "frantic" when he found it in the bathroom at home in Southend, Essex, his mother Laura Cowell said. Specialists from pet shop Scales and Fangs came to the rescue, removing the harmless 3ft (91cm) baby royal python. "It smelt of bleach and a bit toilet-y," Ethan Pinion from the store said. The snake "most likely came up the u-bend" and is expected to recover fully. Mrs Cowell said the toilet had been "blocked for several days and the water wasn't draining well", but at the time, she did not know why. Her son discovered the unwelcome visitor when he went to use the toilet on Wednesday. "He was frantic, and shaking, and I could tell something was wrong, but that was not what I expected," she said. "I had to use a broom handle to lift the lid, then out popped its head and its tongue came out as well." After phoning several potential rescuers, Rob Yeldham, who owns the Leigh-on-Sea store, came to help. "I've done many snake rescues in my 10 years, but I've never had one in a toilet before. It's definitely a first for us," he said. Mr Yeldham said some neighbours of Mrs Cowell had recently moved and old vivariums were left outside with the rubbish. "I think the snake probably escaped and went down their toilet, and ended up in this one, as all the sewers are connected," he said. It was unlikely it had been there long as it was healthy and not underweight, although it is suffering from scale rot, "probably from the bleach". The snake is being treated at the store and once "in perfect health" will be "rehomed with someone reputable so he won't end up in a toilet again". http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-essex-41122975 1 Like
