KOTA KINABALU, Sabah – A man in need of a toilet break had to hold on a while longer when he saw a huge python inside the toilet bowl of a salon, in the Malaysian federal territory of Labuan.
He was taken aback when he flipped open the toilet cover to find the reptile curled up in the bowl at around 10am on Dec 23.
“Luckily, the snake did not attack me,” he said.
Labuan Civil Defence Department officials said they received a call at about 10.30am, and reached the salon not long afterwards to get the reptile out, before handing it over to wildlife officials.
A day earlier, civil defence officials also responded to a snake call in the Taman Indah Jaya residential area of Sabah’s Sandakan city.
The 4m-long snake was slithering outside a house after dusk, where a resident saw it and immediately called 999 for help.
The 15kg reptile was captured and put inside a gunny sack. No one was injured in the incident. THE STAR/ASIA NEWS NETWORK
