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.
:^) Source quality? It's a matter of scale. /rimshot
Oh, I thought another candidate was announcing getting into the 2020 presidential race...never mind.
Always a good idea to look before sitting down :)
Watched the Discovery Channel’s new program “Guardians of the Glades” last night. Dusty Crum is a snake hunter. First saw him on “Swamp People.” This was the first episode of the show, and they were out hunting female pythons...not just capturing them, but killing them so they can’t reproduce.
“Florida Man” strikes again.................
Is not the current version of FR censorship great?
I hate when that happens.
BALL lol
LOL!
When pet rocks go bad.
/most boring snakes, ever
They’re actually called Royal Pythons because of Cleopatra’s penchant for wearing them as “jewelry”.
“Ball Python” is from their courageous habit of literally balling up with their head tucked under themselves and just sitting there as a self defense mechanism.
The color combinations of BP morphs seems to be limitless and they are quite beautiful.
Sort of like God’s mega box of reptile crayons.
ALL of these incredible colors came from boring brown and black snakes captured in their home country.

If Mendel had had these guys, we wouldn’t get so excited about mutant peas.
WHEN WILL Florida Man GET ITS OWN TOPIC ON FREE REPUBLIC???
The snake was taken to the vet? What kind of an idiotic country have we become? Kill the damned snake. There are far too many snakes in south FLorida now.
” He could have been bitten in a place near where the sun dont shine.”
Exactly. How many of us guys didn’t subconsciously cringe just a little reading the title....
“Snake Slithers Out of Toilet, Bites South Florida Man”
Ilan Omar gets around. She’s only 4 feet long, er, I mean tall, right?
Too bad 0bama or Pete Buttplug weren't there to suck out any potential venom.
