Authorities say a ball python slithered out of a toilet and bit a South Florida man on the arm.

Coral Springs police spokesman Chris Swinson said the man was treated at the scene after the 4-foot snake bit him when he lifted the toilet seat on Sunday morning. The snake is nonvenomous.

Swinson told news outlets the snake didn't belong to the man and it was unclear how it got into the apartment.

The South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports the Coral Springs Humane Society took the snake to a veterinarian's office. It was being treated for a scale infection.

Two-eyed snake nearly bites one-eyed snake.

What was Florida Man’s arm doing in the toilet?

I know its unlikely to happen, but I hate that this is even a possibility!

I got five bucks says the two eyed snake is smarter than the one eyed one, not that I have any gathered knowledge over my 67 years. Hey I’m guessing. 🙄

At least it was his arm. He could have been bitten in a place near where the sun don’t shine.

Dang...I first posted this story from “The Smoking Gun,” but FR pulled the plug on that with a curt “that’s trash”. I DID searched for that Smoking Gun story and didn’t find it, but forgot to search for the alternative one from Miami 6 which clearly is NOT trash because it’s from a respectable TV station.

Mea Culpa!

At one time in the long-ago past, that ole one-eye seemed to do all my “thinking” for me.

Lots of loathsome critters around here tonight.....

Snake....this one and Mueller.

Rat.....Disney.

See what biting a human can do. Ticks, scale infections, std’s, the list is most likely endless. Wonder if the snakes owner can sue?

Is that a snake in your butt or you happy to see me

A Ball Snake that bit him on the arm you say. Well it least it wasn’t an Arm Snake that bit him on the ....oh forget it!

[Doogle]

[Vendome]

Well, sometimes I feel like I’ve carried a cannon to the toilet...

[nickedknack]

Dang, I hate it when that happens.
