Woman found a snake hidden in toilet
Unfortunately, this terrible possibility became a reality for a woman in Arizona, US, when she discovered a snake inside her toilet after returning home from a nice vacation. Michelle Lespron was scared when she discovered a snake in the toilet on July 15. Rattlesnake Solutions, a Phoenix, Arizona-based company, successfully removed the snake. The company released information about the occurrence on Facebook, which drew attention to it.
The Associated Press (AP) released a video of the snake being retrieved from the toilet bowl. The reptile can be seen attempting to bite and hissing right at the camera.
“I’d been gone for four days and was looking forward to using my own loo in peace,” Michelle Lespron told AP. When I raised the cover, he or she was coiled up. Thank goodness the lid was shut.”
She began receiving messages from anxious family and friends after the video went viral. “Everyone has the same reaction,” she recalls, “‘Oh my god, that’s my worst nightmare.” Some thought it was a joke with a fake snake, and her own partner quipped, “Ha ha. “Nice one.”
Snake’s length was assessed to be between 3 feet to 4 feet

Michelle Lespron said that her father attempted to capture the snake the night they returned from vacation, but the reptile escaped. She then phoned Rattlesnake Solutions the next morning, and it took three efforts for a skilled handler to successfully capture the black and pink coachwhip snake.
The snake’s length was assessed to be between 3 feet (1 metre) and 4 feet (1.2 metres) by the handler.
Lespron was deeply affected by the episode, and she elected to avoid using her own restroom for three weeks, instead using the guest bathroom. She no longer enters the bathroom in the dark and approaches the toilet with caution, slowly lowering the lid to verify that no unexpected critter awaits her.
