A large, 3-metre-long snake was discovered in a toilet at a residence in Samut Songkhram, prompting emergency services to intervene.

 

The snake, identified as a large fish-eating snake, was stuck in the toilet due to its size. Fire department personnel from Samut Songkhram Municipality were alerted to the situation at house number 11/1, Village 6, and took prompt action.

 

Upon arrival, emergency responders found the snake’s head emerging from the toilet. Attempts to pull the snake out were initially unsuccessful as its body was too large to fit through the toilet, necessitating permission from the homeowner to break the toilet for removal.

 

 

Once extracted, the snake was released back into its natural habitat. The homeowner expressed an intention to use the house number, 11/1, to try their luck in an upcoming lottery.

 

Panuwat Kaewpaihan, a firefighter from the municipal fire department, advised residents to exercise caution and flush toilets before use to prevent such incidents.

 

He warned that unexpected encounters with snakes in toilets could result in serious injuries, reported KhaoSod.

"necessitating permission from the homeowner to break the toilet for removal."

 

Is this a typo ?  I think they meant the snake was broken in two pieces. At least that would be my suggestion to the emergency responders.
