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 and it wasn’t a frog, but a 1.6m non‑venomous Carpet Python.

The snake experts said having a carpet python lodged in your loo is "certainly not a regular occurrence" — adding it was the first time they had been called to such an incident.
