6ft snake emerges from toilet to bite housewife

A Singapore housewife who felt a sharp pain in her thigh while on the toilet was horrified to discover a six-foot python had emerged from the toilet bowl and sunk its teeth into her leg.

Noraslinda Asat, 34, was in the ground-floor toilet of her home when she heard a bubbling noise and felt the bite. After several attempts at grabbing the snake, she pulled it off.

Mrs Asat estimated that the snake was 6ft long and as thick as her husband"s forearm.

After a short time in hospital, where she received an injection for the bite, she was discharged, but Mrs Asat has revealed the real damage is psychological.

She is so traumatised that she is afraid to use the toilet in her home, preferring to go to public ones instead.

Officers from Animal Conces Research and Education Society were unable to find the snake after being called to the scene. A friend of Mr and Mrs Asat later saw the snake in a manhole but was also unable to catch it.

This is the second time a snake has been found at the Asat home. Mrs Asat"s mother also saw a snake in the toilet bowl but it slithered back inside when it saw her.
