Snakes in the bathroom! – There is a movie script here for sure…
So, picture this. You’re minding your own business, maybe thinking about what you’re gonna have for lunch or what game you’re gonna play later, when BAM! You lift up the toilet seat and there’s a freakin’ deadly snake chillin’ there like it’s no big deal.
Sounds like something straight out of a horror movie, right? Well, for one family in Australia, it was just another day in the land Down Under.
Sssssssss…
Now, enter Ozzie Lawrence, AKA the Steve Irwin of the snake world. This dude gets a call from this family in Queensland, and they’re freaking out because there’s a red-bellied black snake hanging out in their toilet.
Now, before you start picturing a little garden snake, let’s set the record straight; these Aussie snakes aren’t messing around.
The Red-bellied black snake is a venomous and native to eastern Australia. They’re known for their distinctive appearance, with shiny black scales on their back and a red or pink underside, which gives them their name. They can grow to lengths of around 4 to 5 feet.
Red-bellied black snakes are like the Chuck Norris of the snake world – they’re big, they’re bold and they’ve got a deadly bite. Plus, they’re not afraid to make themselves at home in your porcelain throne.
But here’s the thing, despite their scary reputation, these snakes usually keep to themselves.
They’ll only strike if they feel threatened, which is reassuring…
Still, you definitely don’t wanna mess with ’em.
Now, you’re probably wondering what happens if one of these bad boys sinks its fangs into you. Well, let us tell ya, it ain’t pretty. We’re talking swelling, bleeding and maybe even some dying body tissue. Plus, you’ll feel like you got hit by a freight train – nausea, vomiting, headache, you name it.
But here’s the crazy part. Despite all the horror stories, deaths from red-bellied black snakebites are pretty rare. Like, we’re talking unicorn rare. Sure, they’ll mess you up if they get the chance, but they’re not out here trying to take lives.
If a snake pops out of your toilet, just back away and reach for your phone… maybe snap a pic…
So, what’s the moral of the story? If you ever come face-to-face with one of these slithery suckers, don’t panic. Call in the experts, like Ozzie Lawrence or animal control and let them work their magic. These guys know how to handle business – they’ll catch the snake, bag it up and release it back into the wild where it belongs. Crisis averted.
Next time you’re taking a trip to the bathroom, maybe give the toilet seat a quick once-over. You never know what surprises might be lurking beneath.
Stay safe out there, folks. And remember, don’t mess with snakes – especially not in the John.
