An escaped snake was found in bowl of a man's toilet.
Snake
James Hooper spotted the serpent with its head poking out of the toilet at his home in Virginia Beach, and he suspect it may have swam through the pipes.
He told WTKR-TV: ''When I saw the tongue of the snake, I was like, 'wow'. We've had snakes in the yard, but not in the toilet.''
The man and his roommate were able to move the python to a bucket outside using a noose at the end of a fishing pole.
Virginia Beach Animal Control supervisor Rebecca Frankling admitted they initially thought it was a prank call.
She added: ''''I don't recall ever having a call or hearing of one for a snake that was actually found in the toilet.
''[It] is one of those things where you think, 'it can't actually happen,' but now it has.''
The snake - which has been missing for about two weeks - has since been reunited with its owner.
