WESH (Orlando, Florida) 24 February 05 St. Petersburg Man Finds Python In Toilet
St. Petersburg, Florida: You've heard of a snake in the grass, but how about one in your toilet?
St. Petersburg resident Shannon Scavotto received a rude awakening Tuesday when he lifted the lid on his toilet and found a snake curled inside, its head sticking out of the bowl. With the help of his wife, Scavotto caught the snake using an improvised noose and put it in a pillowcase.
The reptile ended up being a six-foot African rock python. Experts said the serpent is just a baby, as African rock pythons get as big as 20 feet long or longer.
Scavotto called his boss to tell him he would be late because he had to wrestle a snake out of his toilet. His boss joked he would need a better excuse than that. Scavotto told him he'd bring it in so his boss could see it. So he did.
One of Scavotto's co-workers called a friend who raises snakes. The friend said she would come and get it and try to rehabilitate it.
The Scavottos are placing an ad in the paper for anyone who may have lost the snake.
