A property owner in eastern Alabama got an unwanted surprise when they found a big snake in their toilet, according to a regional cops department.
The reptile– later on determined as a grey rat snake– was discovered by a citizen of Barbour County, Alabama, who called the cops to their house recently.
In a Facebook post on Friday, the Eufaula Cops Department stated the snake was an unanticipated call. They had the ability to launch the reptile into a “appropriate environment” close by.
Grey rat snakes are discovered throughout the United States and, according to the Indiana Indiana Department of Natural Resources, are non-venomous and mainly black or dark brown in colour.
The mouths of the snakes, which can grow as long as as 2 metres (or 7 feet), are white.
” We never ever understand from one day to the next what type of call we will get throughout our shift,” stated the cops department in Eufaula, a town approximately 73 miles southwest of the Alabama state capitol Montongomery. “Today was no exception”.
The department continued: “Nevertheless a snake in the toilet wasn’t on our list of possibilities. Day shift eliminated the unwanted visitor and launched it to a preferable environment.”
Playing down the encounter, the cops department included: “The snake was a safe Gray Rat Snake. In the snake’s defence, he was simply attempting to reach the property owner about their cars and truck’s prolonged service warranty”.
More than a thousand individuals discussed the Facebook post revealing their scary at the snake-filled toilet, with someone writing: “Pleased it wasn’t my home!!”
Grey rat snakes are normally discovered in deciduous forests, meadows, stream valleys, and on rocky hillsides, according to the Indiana natural deposits department.
