Snake bites from toilets are rare but do happen, especially in tropical regions during rainy seasons. Snakes can enter homes through **sewers, roof vents, broken pipes, or gaps in bathrooms**.
One shocking case in *Thailand* involved a **12-foot python** that bit a man on the testicles while he was using the toilet. In *South Africa*, a Dutch tourist suffered **serious genital injuries** after a **Cape cobra** bit him in an outdoor toilet. Other incidents include a woman in *Texas* bitten by a **rat snake**, and a woman in *Australia* bitten on the thigh by a **carpet python**.
“Snakes can slither upward through pipes and emerge in toilets,” experts warn. This is most common in **public toilets or rural homes**, where plumbing is more exposed.
While all victims survived, some needed surgery and psychological help. The risk remains low but real—especially in regions where snakes are common.
