Man Finds 6-Foot African Rock Python In Toilet

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) -- You've heard of a snake in the grass, but how about one in your toilet?

St. Petersburg resident Shannon Scavotto received a rude awakening Tuesday when he lifted the lid on his toilet and found a snake curled inside, its head sticking out of the bowl.

With the help of his wife, Scavotto caught the snake using an improvised noose and put it in a pillowcase.

The reptile ended up being a six-foot African rock python. Experts say the serpent is just a baby, as African rock pythons get as big as 20 feet long or longer.

Scavotto called his boss to tell him he'd be late because he'd had to wrestle a snake out of his toilet. His boss joked he would need a better excuse than that.

Scavotto told him he'd bring it in so he could see it. So he did.

One of Scavotto's co-workers called a friend who raises snakes. The friend said she would come and get it and try to rehabilitate it. The Scavottos are placing an ad in the paper for anyone who may have lost the snake.

Snakes can be potty trained?

I would've been really scared and probably scream for my boyfriend to come and take care of it; I wouldn't try to do it on my own.

Oh I know..I would seriously have a heart attack, if I looked down and there was this huge snake in my toilet...

I remember watching a National Geographic special about brown tree snakes and how they were getting in the sewer system in Guam & this guy was sitting on the tiolet & a snake came up through the toilet and ate one of his testicles off

Ouch..I guess the snake was craving some meatballs...

MsOrange · 02-25-2005, 03:22 PM

geez, i don't think i would have put it into a pillow case and carried into work... i do belive the mug would have been killed, flushed down the toliet (at least an attempt would be made), anything... but I would have not brought it to show and tell.

That's always been a nightmare of mine, ever since I saw "Anaconda", that I would sit down and there my butt would be, a perfect meal for a 20 ft snake (and i don't mean that dirty

)
