Man Bitten By Python While Playing Video Game Sitting On Toilet [Photos]

A man in Malaysia was bitten by a python while he played videogame sitting on a toilet at his home. The 28-year-old man who was badly shaken by the incident shared the ordeal on social media and the pictures have gone viral.

Sabri Tazali from Selayang, a city in the west coast state of Selangor, met with a terrifying experience on March 28 while he was playing videogame during his toilet time -- something he was habitually doing for a long time.

While Tazali was engrossed in the game, the python that was hiding inside the toilet bowl latched on to his butt. Horrified by the unexpected attack, Tazali jumped up and pulled out the snake from his behind before throwing it on the wall, Straits Times reported.

Tazali later realized that it was a non-poisonous snake and was relieved because the bite was not painful. He was taken to a hospital where doctors treated him with an anti-tetanus shot. The python was captured by the local Fire and Rescue Department.

However, after two weeks, Tazali was shocked to discover fragments of broken snake teeth from his wound. "After two weeks, I checked the wound area, there were still half of the snake's teeth. It broke probably because I yanked the snake hard," Tazali told the news outlet.

Tazali's family has been living in the neighborhood for the past 40 years and has never had such encounters before. Although the incident happened two months back, Tazali said he has still not recovered from the shock. "To be honest, I am still traumatized by the incident," Tazali added.

After Tazali shared the pictures of the python that crept inside his toilet and details of the incident on Twitter last week, many viewers shared their sympathies with him.

"This is why when you go to a public toilet or even your own house before you do your business, it's better to flush first and then occasionally glance at the toilet hole," a user wrote.

Meanwhile, another user wrote: "I can't imagine it happening to a person with a snake phobia like me. It's so scary to read."
