Elderly woman gets fright of her life after finding snake in her TOILET when she went to the loo in the night

A PENSIONER got the fright of her life after finding a 5ft python in her TOILET as she went to sit down on the loo.

Bryce says he arrived to find the woman - who lives alone - in ‘a state of shock’ after the horrifying discovery.

The snake-busting expert donned a pair of gloves and gently pulled the 5ft carpet python out of the toilet and released it into nearby bushland

And in a shocking admission, Bryce says he gets called out to retrieve snakes from people's toilets at least once a month.

He said: “She had already gone to sleep a few hours beforehand and got up to use the bathroom later that night.

As she went to sit down she noticed it and it gave her a huge fright.

"She lives alone and called her daughter to come over and be with her."

Bryce believes the snake had entered the home through a broken pipe and was probably "looking for food."

He said: "Snakes can actually hold their breath underwater for a while. 

" This type of thing happens a lot more than people realise, usually every month we will get a call out about a snake in a toilet."
