Python in home toilet bites man’s genitals

A 9-foot long python attacked a Thai man while he was using his home toilet Wednesday, The Associated Press reports.

Attaporn Boonmakchuay, 38, was using his squat toilet when the snake, who slithered through the plumbing, latched onto his penis. He told Thai TV Channel 7 it took 30 minutes to get the snake off, with help from his wife and neighbor. His wife tied a rope around the snake and Boonmakchuay opened its jaws before passing out.

Emergency responders dismantled the bloody toilet and released the snake into the wild.

Boonmakchuay will make a full recovery. Dr. Chutima Pincharoen, who saw the wound, said he was lucky — if the bite would have broken his urinary tract, "it would have been a big problem."

Large snakes are common in urban areas of Thailand, according to Sky News.

Until now I never knew there was such a thing as gay snakes . . .

I've never forgotten that, six years ago, my boyfriend was bitten on the leg by a snake when he went outside during the night to his parents' ramshackle toilet. He phoned me from the hospital....it was 0300 here in London and the resulting conversation was one of the strangest I've had on the phone. Not helped, of course, by the fact that I was half asleep.
P. was in hospital for a week. His dad had found the snake, killed it and taken it to the hospital so that the necessary anti-venom medication could be supplied. P. told me that he was in a ward full of snake-bite victims.
