The End Of The World As We Know It

And you will NOT feel fine. The Animal Uprising™ has unveiled its newest terror tactic. This one will be almost unstoppable and may well put them over the top. By being under the bottom, so to speak. Just remember, the next time you go to use the toilet, check for snakes.

Peter Phillips, a wildlife officer for the Northern Territory's Parks and Wildlife Service, was called to remove the snake after a plumber who was fixing the blocked toilet discovered it curled in the pipes.

"The … resident originally called a plumber because her toilet was blocked," Phillips said in a statement released by the Northern Territory government. "I arrived to see a large python head peering out of the toilet bowl."

Phillips removed the snake from the septic tank because he said it had grown too big to be pulled straight out of the toilet. The mostly nocturnal Carpet Python had probably taken up temporary residence in the septic tank because it was a good place to hide during the day and hunt for frogs.

Australian septic tanks are good places to hunt for frogs? Who knew?
