“The ?EUR??,,????'??? resident originally called a plumber because her toilet was blocked,” Peter Phillips, a wildlife officer for the Northern Territory?EUR??,,????'???s Parks and Wildlife Service, said in a statement released by the Northern Territory government. “I arrived to see a large python head peering out of the toilet bowl.”

The snake had to be removed from the septic tank because it had grown too big to be pulled straight out of the toilet. Phillips added that the septic tank was a great place for the snake to hide during the day and hunt for frogs. And it showed, because ?EUR??,,????'??the snake was so fat and healthy it was it difficult to retrieve,” he said. Luckily, pythons are nonpoisonous and it was able to be removed unharmed.
