A YOUNG woman experienced a terrifying ordeal when a python bit her thigh and fingers while she was using the toilet, reported Sinar Harian.
In a recent post on X, a user named Bella (@lovinghansoll) shared images of her bleeding hand after struggling with the snake, which was about 1m long.
According to her, the incident occurred while she was using the toilet at her home in Pontian, Johor.
“I was sitting on the toilet in a residential house, not a rural home. After finishing, I remained seated as my stomach still felt unsettled.
“Suddenly, I felt something bite my thigh, it was sharper than a razor and had multiple teeth. The snake bit down with immense force, sinking its teeth deep into my skin.
“In a panic, I grabbed its mouth to free myself. Its teeth were so sharp that my fingers got badly injured,” said Bella.
“At first, I didn’t realise it was a large python until it finally stopped biting me. The snake had emerged from the toilet bowl,” she said.
“I screamed, but I didn’t cry. My father rushed in and pulled me out of the bathroom, but I managed to look back and saw that the snake was huge! It escaped back into the toilet pipe before anyone could catch it,” she added.
Bella said she was taken to the hospital, where they cleaned her wounds and gave her antibiotics since pythons are not venomous.
