A man was bitten by a snake while using the toilet in a terrifying incident in Thailand. Luckily for him, the snake was a non-venomous python.

A man was bitten by a snake while using the toilet in a terrifying incident in Thailand. Thanat Thangtewanon felt a sharp pain in his testicles as he sat down on the toilet seat on Tuesday. According to his Facebook post, he looked down and saw that a 3.6-meter-long python had bitten into his genitals.

“I felt something bite me. It was very painful, so I put my hands in the toilet to see what was going on. I was shocked that I had grabbed a snake,” he said.

Tangtewanon said the snake latched onto his scrotum and refused to shake it off. The Thai man grabbed a toilet brush and started hitting the head of the brush, causing the snake to eventually detach itself from him.

“I quickly got up and pulled it out. I felt pain, really bad pain, and there was blood everywhere, but I was even more shocked that I had found a python in the toilet,” Tangtewanon said, according to the New York Post. In his Facebook post, he said the python also bit his finger in the “very scary” encounter.

Tangtewanon, a resident of Thailand's Samut Prakan province, managed to beat the snake to death with the toilet brush and then called the security guard to dispose of it.

The Thai man said he called his neighbors after the attack to take him to the hospital. Fortunately, the python is not a poisonous snake and he did not need stitches. He was released after a tetanus shot.

“I'm glad it wasn't a poisonous snake. A cobra would have killed me,” Tangtewanon was quoted as saying by the British Mirror.
