The man is recovering from the bloody encounter with a 10-foot python that slithered up toilet pipes of his home and latched its jaws onto his genitalia as he was squatting in the loo.

In March 2015, Kenyan's on social media woke up to scary photos of a cobra found curled in a toilet bowl at Embakasi’s Nyayo Estate. Mr Wanjohi, a specialist in ICT management, reportedly found the reptile in his toilet.

Incidences of snakes slithering up the plumbing to the toilet bowls are not unheard of. 

I could go on. A snake was indeed caught peeping from a toilet bowl in Mumbai, India back in 2014. Mumbai Mirror and Vancouver Desi reported that a Mulund family was shocked when they discovered the 6-foot crawler sticking its head out of the bowl. 

Although tales of snakes in the toilet are often dismissed as urban legends, this incident proves that snakes slithering through plumbing pipes really do happen.

Be on the lookout as you take your potty break!
