Video: Snake catcher pulls out venomous serpent from toilet in shocking footage

Of all things one might come across in the bathroom, the terrifying possibility of encountering a snake must be the last thing on anyone’s mind. But sometimes these serpents can pop out of the most unexpected places, as they have been found in everything from air conditioners to car engines.

In a shocking incident from Queensland in Australia, a snake catcher was called after a family spotted a venomous brown tree snake in their toilet. The horrific moment when he pulled out the snake from the toilet was caught on camera.

The snake can be seen hiding in the rim of the toilet as it refuses to give up when the catcher tries to flush it out. He then reaches in and eventually pulls the snake out after three minutes of tugging.
