"This fella made his way in accidentally and was discovered in the bathroom when they called me. I’ve been getting them to some funny places over the last few weeks. Enjoy, folks, and be safe.”

Carpet pythons, while non-venomous, can grow several metres long and are known for turning up in unexpected places in suburban areas across Australia.

Social media users were quick to share their reactions. Some admitted they would have been too frightened to even step into the bathroom, while others joked about how “Australia never fails to deliver wild surprises.”

Residents in snake-prone areas are advised to remain calm when such encounters occur and to contact professionals rather than attempting to handle snakes themselves. Despite their intimidating size, carpet pythons play an important role in controlling rodent populations.

The bizarre bathroom discovery has since gone viral since it was posted on 11 September 2025, reminding many Australians of the unexpected wildlife encounters that come with living alongside nature.
