A man from Thailand got his genitals attacked as he was using the toilet in his own home.
Atthaporn Boonmakchuay who just wanted to relieve nature’s calling was caught with his pants guard down as a python emerged from his toilet.
The 38-year-old said he felt a sharp bite on his pee pee region and reached down with his hand only to discover a snake’s jaws clamped around the tip of his penis.
Atthaporn wrestled the 3 metre (10 feet) snake for almost 30 minutes as he tried to free himself. He screamed out for his wife and both her and a neighbour tried to help pry free the serpent’s clasp.
After his wife tied a rope around the snake, Atthaporn pried open its jaws before passing out.
Atthaporn reportedly suffered a significant amount of blood loss from the ordeal and was rushed to Chularat Hospital to seek medical treatment. He was said to be in stable condition and even smiled during his interview with reporters.
“He has a really good attitude… even though his own wife and children were in shock. He’s been smiling and giving interviews all day from his bed,” said hospital director, Dr. Chutima Pincharoen.
Rescuers arrived to his house find the python’s head hanging from the bathroom door, secured by a rope, with the rest of the snake still stuck in the squat toilet.
Emergency workers had to dismantle the toilet to remove the snake, which also survived the ordeal, according to rescue officer Danupol Tapo.
“This is all bizarre,” he told CNN. “I had witnessed snakes [come] out of toilets many times, and when they bite, it mostly would be at legs or butts. Not the penis, this is the first time.”
After rescuers freed the snake, it was reported that the serpent was released back into the wild.
Let’s hope it doesn’t end up in another toilet again!
