Edited on Tue Oct-18-05 08:11 AM by Kellanved
MEET Keith...a 10ft boa constrictor who has been captured after popping up in the loos at a posh block of flats.

The snake had terrified tenants since it was first spotted in a toilet last week, after living in sewage pipes for three months.

People had to put bricks on their loo seats to stop the Keith slipping into their bathrooms.Firemen were even called in to try to track him down in the pipework.

...

He said: "A 19-year-old living in one of the flats went to the loo at 2am and was quite surprised to see the snake looking back at him

1. How can it LIVE in the sewerage system?
Seriously.... don't snakes need clean air and water too?

4. A small snake was in the toilet once very early in the
morning when my brother-in-law sat down. He said he thought he felt something lightly brush against his "boys", so he jumped up. When he saw the snake he ran screaming from the bathroom. He always checks the toilet now.

9. I KNEW this was not an irrational fear!!!!
I used to be terrified of the toilet when I was a kid.

This was one of my scenarios.

The other was that I would fall in and be flushed away, particularly in the big noisy toilet at school.

Can you say anal retentive, much?

11. More parents should fear their children falling in and drowning.
But I'm glad you made it past that stage.
