Snakes on a plane? Nah......in your toilet

[imastawka]

Nasty surprises aren't unusual under the toilet lid, but this one might have you hesitating before taking a seat.

Yesterday morning, snake-catcher Tony Harrision was enlisted to remove an unwanted visitor from a Gold Coast family's loo.

"Now can you imagine early in the morning sitting on the toilet and then this popping up between your legs," Mr Harrison said as he worked to free the reptile.

But the brown tree snake had made itself at home under rim of the toilet at the Guanaba property and wasn't coming out without a fight.

"This snake's going to come out swinging," Mr Harrison said.

The entire ordeal was streamed live on the Gold Coast and Brisbane Snake Catcher's Facebook page, much to the horror of many viewers.

"Will never feel at ease going to the loo EVER again," one user wrote.

Despite being venomous, the brown tree snake is not generally regarded as being deadly to humans.

"Mild. It won't kill you," Harrison informed concerned viewers.

"Still wouldn't like a munch on the doodle from this noodle."

The incident comes a month after Harrison wrangled a deadly brown snake wrapped around a child's Lego set.
