Teenage Boys Sometimes Bitten on Genitals Instead of During Bathroom Use

In Thailand, another incident occurred where a man was bitten on the buttocks by a python hiding inside a toilet. In Thailand, cobras and pythons are often found appearing inside toilets.

According to local media The Tiger on the 19th, a 62-year-old man named Mr. A living in Nonthaburi, central Thailand, felt a painful sting on his buttocks while using the bathroom. Startled, he quickly stood up and saw a python climbing up the toilet.

The frightened man slipped while rushing out of the bathroom and was urgently taken to the hospital to treat his wounds.

Mr. A said, "The snake was quite large and looked like a python." In mid-last month, a python suddenly poked its head out of the toilet, but thinking, "Surely I won't be bitten by a snake in the toilet," he sat down and ended up having an accident.

He added, "I often heard about similar incidents in the news, but I never thought something like this would actually happen to me."

Fortunately, the python is non-venomous, so his life was not in danger, but the bite was strong enough to cause a large wound that required suturing surgery. Mr. A removed the entire toilet to find the python but ultimately could not find any trace of the snake.

Last month, another man in Thailand discovered a giant python poking its head out of the toilet while using the bathroom. The python was so large that it was stuck in the bathroom pipe, and the snake could only be removed after cutting the pipe.

At that time, the python weighed a whopping 23 kg. Also, in September 2020, a teenage boy was bitten on his genitals by a python while sitting on the toilet and had to undergo suturing surgery.

Meanwhile, in Thailand, about 7,000 people are bitten by snakes every year, with around 30 of them losing their lives.
