Toilet python surprises woman in hotel room

A hotel guest in La Vista, Nebraska, awoke to a strange and slithery sight sitting in her toilet: a 3-foot ball python. The woman spotted the surprise snake before sitting down. With some help from the Nebraska Humane Society, she got the snake into a pillowcase.

Officials with the Nebraska Human Society said they estimated the python found on Thursday morning at the Hampton Inn was about 3 years old. They said pythons aren't typically found in Nebraska, so it's likely this python was a pet.



They added that pythons don't like water, especially cold water, so it's unlikely the snake slithered through sewer pipes. A caregiver with the Nebraska Human Society said they will wait five days for the owner to come forward before they put it up for adoption.

A spokesperson from Hampton Inn & Suites said the company is investigating where the snake came from. The hotel said it has a no pet policy.
