Beware when your trouser snake is not the only snake in the bathroom: It was almost 9 a.m. Tuesday and Shannon Scavotto already was running late for work when he opened the toilet to throw out a tissue. Inside was a snake as thick as a child's wrist, its diamond-shaped head sticking 10 inches out of the toilet. St. Petersburg Times has the full story Via [Boing Boing]
