dufus Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Snake catcher Jasmine Zeleny rescues a 1.6m carpet python from the Chapel Hill toilet. Photo / Facebook A snake catcher has revealed the haunting moment a carpet python leapt up and bit a customer on the bum as she was sitting on the toilet. It was a quiet Tuesday afternoon at Chapel Hill in Brisbane's west when Helen Richards went into her bathroom to use the toilet. She didn't turn the light on, as she wasn't going to be in there long. But according to a snake catcher — who detailed the shocking incident in a Facebook post — she then felt something bite her "mid-stream". "As you can imagine, she jumped up quite quickly," the snake catcher wrote. "It all happened so fast, and she initially thought it was a frog." Terrifyingly, she discovered it wasn't a frog, but a 1.6m non-venomous Carpet Python which had "gotten just as much of a fright as she did". "I jumped up with my pants down and turned around to see what looked like a longneck turtle receding back into the bowl," Ms Richards said — describing the horrifying moment to the Gold Coast Bulletin. The snake catcher said the reptile's preferred exit point was blocked after being spooked by Ms Richards sitting down and it "simply lashed out in fear". "It showed no defensive behaviour after this point," they added. "Our snake catcher arrived promptly, with first aid in hand, so that the customer could clean herself up and get some antiseptic spray on the few small puncture marks left by the snake."
