Australian woman bitten by snake in toilet
[BBC] An Australian woman "jumped off her seat" after being bitten by a snake on the toilet, a reptile handler says.Helen Richards, 59, received the non-venomous strike in the dark at a relative's house in Brisbane on Tuesday. She received minor puncture wounds from the 1.5m (5ft) carpet python. Handler Jasmine Zeleny, who retrieved the reptile, said it was common to find snakes seeking water in toilets during hot weather. Ms Richards told local media she had felt a "sharp tap". "I jumped up with my pants down and turned around to see what looked like a longneck turtle receding back into the bowl," she told The Courier Mail newspaper. Posted by: Besoeker 2019-01-25 |
