A Thai man was just going about his morning business when a python, nearly four-metres long, bit his penis.
According to Khaosod English, the reptile slithered out of Atthaporn Boonmakchuay’s squat toilet and attacked him while he was using it yesterday (May 25).
Atthaporn said he had been squatting over his toilet for about 30 minutes when the python rose from the depths to fasten its jaws around the end of his penis.
His wife, Sawittree Shooyoung, heard his screams and yelled to get a rope.
Just before he passed out from a loss of blood, the 38-year-old Atthaporn grasped the serpent by its head and managed to use the rope to tie it to the bathroom door.
Atthaporn was reported to be in a stable condition.
A YouTube video shows rescue workers using a hammer to free the python, which was still stuck in the toilet.
Authorities suspect the python entered the home through a pipe that led it to the toilet. It will be released back into the wild.
Everyone is probably going to double, triple, quadruple check the toilet for unwelcome visitors after this.
