4 metre king cobra found in a Krabi toilet

By Phuket Gazette & The Nation

 

 

A four metre long king cobra has been found in the toilet of a local man’s house.

 

The owner of the house, Amnuay Ritthong, said that he was heading to the toilet, which is built next to his house, and spotted the snake next to the toilet before it quickly slithered inside the stall. He called Ao Luek Villa Rescue Team for help and it took them about 5 minutes to coax the snake out of its new home in the toilet.

 

The snake was gray and black and weighed 8 kilograms.

When I was a kid in Australia we used to have thunderboxes (out houses) which were just a hole in the ground dug by a post hole digger with a seat on the top.

I remember always checking for snakes and red backs before sitting down.  At night it was terrifying.

Thought about it but was afraid to lop the head off the wrong snake in the dark.
