Police said the man had just sat down when he felt a ‘pinch’ on his genitals.

When the man stood up to inspect the bowl he was stunned to see a huge albino python staring back at him.

It's understood the snake belonged to a neighbour and had escaped before choosing the man’s toilet as his resting spot.

A local reptile expert and police officers were drafted in to remove the snake.
