I should NOT have read this.

((Shudder))

[Ditter]

She said she "opened up the lid". Toilets have 2 parts, the lid and the seat. You are a man aren't you, my husband doesn't know this either.

Why did I click on this thread!! I get up every night to go to the bathroom and I never turn the light on. (until tonight)

Considering she was going to the toilet, if it bit her on the thigh, she should consider herself very lucky.

In a suburb just east of Orlando, a client of mine had an Eastern diamondback rattlesnake that slithered out from the woods that stretched the width of his driveway--a two-car garage driveway!

"This is why I pee in the shower..."

In the mornings, I have no choice, but to pee in the shower.hehehe

Alicia's husband, Richard is searching the home trying to find the snake

Time to get a mongoose.

There was a fright movie a long time ago where the woman got in the bathtub and while she was soaking, a snake came up the drain.........

I almost never got over that one.

They said, doctors told them, given the size of the snake, if it would have bitten him instead of Alicia, he probably would not have survived

These doctors know nothing about snakes. A baby venomous snake has the same level of toxin as an adult. An average person will survive a bite from a moccassin if they don't panic, and get to a hospital promptly. It was particularly dangerous for this hospital to administer an anti-venom when they didn't know the species of the snake. It may not have been venomous at all!

Misplaced commas, too many commas, extraneous apostrophes . . .

Gawd, she looks like a big woman. That can't be her toilet--I bet she uses a double-wide.

I bet that snake was frustrated--too much target area to attack.

[MotleyGirl70]

Costanza is that you?

[Nita Nupress]

I would have to move. Just have to.

You and me both!

In fact, we'd probably end up with the post-traumatic Snake-Hiding-In-Toilet Syndrome, sometimes referred to as the post traumatic SH*TS). :-D

And I thought I had a problem with ants ...

[sine_nomine]

PETA would call it justice. Snakes have rights enshrined in the Constitution, I imagine.

[ForGod'sSake]

Lemme guess, this thing was hiding under a, er, log.

From a pic down the thread there appears to be two punctures on the lady's knee. NO swelling, NO discoloration, NO dead skin!!! This within three or four days of the bite? Something doesn't smell quite right.

FGS

[Howlin]

I think I have that right now after reading this article.

Just the thought!

[sine_nomine]

However, Arizona Diamondbacks are harmless.

[nedlbndr]

Indiana Conservation Dept, in their infinite wisdom, has reintroduced the Diamond Back to Brown Co. and other areas of southern Ind. They carry RFID tags (don't know how that works when they shed their skin). Hellish fine to kill one. No offense if bitten however. This did not come up for public vote.

LOL

[Barnacle]

Time to throw out that fancy flusher and...

Install one of these.
