A Singapore housewife who felt a sharp
pain in her thigh while on the toilet was
horrified to discover a six-foot python had
emerged from the toilet bowl and sunk its
teeth into her leg.
Noraslinda Asat , 34, was in the ground-floor
toilet of her home when she heard a bubbling
noise and felt the bite. After several attempts
at grabbing the snake, she pulled it off.
Mrs Asat estimated that the snake was 6ft long
and as thick as her husband's forearm.
After a short time in hospital, where she
received an injection for the bite, she was
discharged, but Mrs Asat has revealed the real
damage is psychological.
She is so traumatised that she is afraid to use
the toilet in her home, preferring to go to
public ones instead.
Officers from Animal Concerns Research and
Education Society were unable to find the
snake after being called to the scene. A friend
of Mr and Mrs Asat later saw the snake in a
manhole but was also unable to catch it.
This is the second time a snake has been found
at the Asat home. Mrs Asat's mother also saw a
snake in the toilet bowl but it slithered back
inside when it saw her.
