Man Left Traumatized After Attack by Snake on Toilet

Thanat Thangtewanon sat down on the toilet on Tuesday when he felt a sharp pain in his testicles—below him, a 12-foot python, emerging from his toilet, had sunken its teeth into his privates. “I felt something biting my balls. It was very painful, so I put my hands in the toilet to see what was wrong. I was shocked that I grabbed a snake,” Thangtewanon told the Daily Mail . “I quickly stood up and plucked it out,” he recounted. The python, still attached to Thangtewanon, would not let up, so, he began whacking it with a toilet brush. “There was blood everywhere, but I was more shocked to have found a python in the toilet,” he added. Images show Thangtewanon’s bathroom sprayed with a new coat of red from the incident. Thangtewanon and his father rushed to the hospital for a tetanus shot and stitches. Fortunate for him, the wound was not deep and doctors told him it would only take a few weeks to heal. Thangtewanon said his “testicles are safe now” and that he was “lucky it wasn’t a venomous snake.” Even if his injuries have healed, the mental scars still haunt him and he hasn’t “used that toilet again since.” Thangtewanon said, “every time I go, I check what’s inside and put a brush in there to make sure.”
