I always look and have a flashlight at night. But, I'm always thinking about what if he's up in the rim. Ughh!

Exactly why I turn the lights on and check the toilet at night.

Extended car warranty. That's hilarious!! That snake was huge! I've heard of "Snakes on a Plane", but never heard of Snakes in the Toilet. I never turn my bathroom light on at night.

Alright, Eufaula Alabama Police Department, like my being a 57 Texan female with creepy critter aversion wasn’t bad enough, now this That’s the elusive “nope rope,” right there, in a TOILET so now I’ll have to turn the bathroom light on, holding a “nope rope bat” every time I have to enter our bathroom all night long from here on out...Ugh.

Chris McMillian said:

This happened to my son. His wife is terribly afraid of snakes so called me to help him get it out. I wasn't much help. Lol.

And that is why I am glad I have a septic tank and not on the city sewer. My parents bought this house in the mid-'80s and not once has a snake, of any kind, came up thru the toilet. We have had them crawl in thru unsealed french doors, but not a toilet.

Tammy Chapman Evans shared:

Now I am going to be paranoid about going to the bathroom.

In a video uploaded to the Instagram page of Complex, Holston first caught the snake by the head before pulling it out in a forest.

When the snake tried to set itself free, he prevented the serpent from coiling around him without fear.
