A coachwhip snake managed to make its way through the drainage system in Tucson, Arizona, to emerge from a homeowner’s toilet.
Michelle Lespron returned from four days away on July 15 2023 to find the reptile had set up camp in her toilet.
The video, which was posted by Rattlesnake Solutions, a Phoenix-based animal removal company, shows the snake hissing into the camera as it is taken away.
Ms Lespron called upon her father to help but in the end, she hired a professional outfit to remove the animal.
Snake sightings are common in the southwest of the United States.
