In a terrifying incident in Thailand, a man was bitten by a snake while using the toilet. Fortunately, the snake was a non-venomous python.
In a horrifying incident in Thailand, Thanat Thangtewanon was bitten by a snake while using the toilet. On Tuesday, he felt a sharp pain in his testicles after sitting down on the toilet seat. To his shock, he looked down to find a 12-foot python had latched onto his privates, as he shared in a Facebook post.
“I felt a sharp bite and intense pain, so I reached down into the toilet to see what was happening. To my shock, I realized I had grabbed a snake,” he said.
Tangtewanon said the snake clung tightly to his scrotum and wouldn’t let go. He grabbed a toilet brush and began striking its head, which eventually made the snake release its grip.
“I quickly stood up and pulled it out. I was in severe pain and there was blood everywhere, but I was even more shocked to find a python in the toilet,” Tangtewanon told The New York Post. In his Facebook post, he also mentioned that the python bit his finger during the “very scary” ordeal.
Tangtewanon, a resident of Samut Prakan province in Thailand, managed to kill the snake with the toilet brush before calling for a guard to dispose of it.

The Thai man said he called his next-door neighbors to take him to the hospital after the attack. Fortunately, the python was non-venomous, so he didn’t need stitches and was discharged after receiving a tetanus shot.

“I’m lucky it wasn’t a venomous snake. A cobra could have killed me,” Tangtewanon told the UK Mirror.
