Popular Post Costas2008 Posted November 4, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted November 4, 2014 From now on I will protect my precious belongings when I sit on the toilet. I have escaped being severed by the wife, don't want to loose it to a python, even if he is as beautiful as in the photo. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Bluespunk Posted November 4, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted November 4, 2014 (edited) "Samkok district officer Metha Taweekunchai said he’ll order his officers to capture the snake in Rampeung's toilet, so the family can resume using it" Well that'll be a relief for everyone concerned. To be honest I didn't think pythons had fangs. Don't they just wrap themselves around their prey and constrict until it's dead?

Popular Post Commerce Posted November 4, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted November 4, 2014 The snake may well have taken a tooth hold on her hand.... but it's highly unlikely, without full body constriction, it could have taken her down the latrine. In addition, how did Khun Rampeung know there was a snake's nest in her loo? Sounds a bit out of the ordinary to me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, reading your reaction here, after having read your other one about the 'pretty' being assaulted by her police officer BF... Why would a woman want to cut your small piece of pride off? Had mister macho-sexist Costas been unfaithfull, maybe, or had you just been flirting on the phone with some other lady? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a powerful non poison bite for grabbing and holding before restricting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robby nz Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Any snake experts on here can identify whether this is a Regal Python in the Coconuts picture? No expert but try this site http://www.siam-info.com/english/snakes_common.html There are only 2 pythons in TL the reticulated python (which the one in the pix isn't, seen one) and the Burmese Python which it possibly could be with the colors tricked up. Other than that the photo bears no relation to the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post PythonHouse Posted November 4, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted November 4, 2014 The snake in the photo is a Brazilian Rainbow Boa - I own several and they are 1.5 to 2 metres fully grown. This snake would NOT have attacked the woman. The snake that bit the woman would have been a Reticulated Python - they can be very aggressive. I doubt very much that it would have been a Burmese Python. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Deerhunter Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Sure it wasn't her husbands recently severed penis TVF falang husband??? Some of them are really (never mind)! Seriously, is the story for real? The crocs & pythons in the New York sewers are B.S. Was this just a slow Monday news idea about BKK pythons?

Local Drunk Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 A toilet is usually 4 inch drainpipe here and probably a squat toilet. That could handle a very large snake. Snakes do chase rats up the pipes. I recall a school in Phetkasem several years back that had a Pit Viper crawl up through the sewer pipes to the 4th floor and out through the toilet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
