Aug. 4 (UPI) -- A Colorado woman said she was "terrified" when she looked into her toilet and saw something shocking -- a snake coming up from the drain.
Miranda Stewart, of Fort Collins, said she was using the restroom at her Varsity Apartments home when she made the startling discovery.
"I used the restroom, like went to flush and everything and it wasn't going down. I looked and leaned in closer and a snake head slithered up. I was terrified," Stewart told KDVR-TV.
Stewart said the discovery reinforced a longtime fear she once thought to be irrational.
"It's actually been one of my fears since I was a kid," she said.
Stewart shared photos of her apartment's maintenance man extracting the snake from inside the commode.
"We're thinking it was a possible pet from one of the tenants from our apartment complex. If the snake got in their toilet and slithered to ours," Stewart said.
The reptile, a non-venomous corn snake, was adopted by the maintenance worker, Wesley Stanford.
"I took him home and my wife was very happy with me and we named him Boots. He's our little guard snake on the property," Sanford said.

Meh. I found a possum in my garbage can, and then another one in my chicken feeder.
So? Happens all the time in Florida.
5.56mm
(D) or (R)?
Stewart is a drama queen.
If she’d look could see a bigger one in the governors mansion.
Can't say one of my worst fear was having a snake come up through the toilet. I'll have to add that to my list of things to worry about.
BTW-We had a big black snake in the living room once lying about on the white carpet. It was a bit creepy and it took some thought as to how to capture it without ruining the rug.
Starting Colorado legislation to prevent this would not be enough.
We need national legislation to protect all Americans from snakes in toilets.
President Trump, why aren’t you doing something about MF’ing snakes in these MF’ing toilets!!!
Never found on in our toilet bowl......outhouse, yes, but not the throne.............
Found a possum in the bathtub one morning was about 12...............
Solution: Just eat Mexican food.
They look scary, but I used a small stick to pet them and they just sat there, showing their teeth, but doing nothing. Still, it looks like if they WERE to bite, it could be nasty.
In the age of Equality, a Woman had to call a Man to rescue her from a Corn Snake? Say it isn’t so.
Seriously? How is this possible for a building with modern plumbing? Unless the instances are for building detached from a public sewer system.
I thought it was against the Law to Pee on a Snake.
She was going Pee, right?
That Snake may need Therapy.
I don’t see a Wedding Ring on her hand in that Picture.
Just sayin’...
She clearly doesn’t live in the country. The snakes usually wander in looking for juicy, plump mice and other such creatures. It’s not nice to disturb their work. I just shoo them out. The poisonious ones, are another matter. They are not allowed.
