Tremendous scare that a 65-year-old man has taken at his home in the city of Graz (Austria). He was sitting on the toilet when he felt a “prick” in the crotch, as he himself has related to the police; It was the bite of a six foot long python that had crawled through the pipes. Luckily, everything was a scare.
The man did not suffer serious injuries to his genitals , although emergency services took him to a medical center for a check-up and rule out possible infections. Experts have identified the reptile that snuck into the toilet as an albino reticulated python. It is a non-poisonous species of snake.
The reticulated python is one of the longest snakes that exist: in the wild the specimens can exceed 10 meters and weigh more than 100 kilos. She has a strong and elastic body and is very agile and fast. It should be noted that it is very strong and has a large jaw width, enough characteristics to engulf an adult human.
But how did it get into the pipes and out of the toilet? The python belongs to a neighbor of the victim , a 24-year-old young man, who says he does not understand how it could escape from the terrarium. He has been charged with a crime of negligent injury and is now awaiting the dedication of the Judge if the snake is removed.
The young man has ten other non-poisonous snakes and a gecko at home. According to the APA agency, the python arrived at the neighbor’s house through the pipes and was later rescued from the toilet by a reptile specialist. “It was not an easy task. The python had all its muscles in tension and was embedded in the pipe, “he explained to the Austrian newspaper ‘Kronen Zeitung’.
