I Lifted the Toilet Lid This Morning and Froze — At First I Thought It Was Just an Object, Until It Started Moving

This morning started out like any other. I went into the bathroom to wash my face, half awake and thinking about breakfast. But the moment I lifted the toilet lid, I couldn’t breathe. Something dark was resting at the bottom of the bowl.

At first, I thought maybe something had fallen in — a brush, a bottle cap, who knows. But then… it moved. 😨

I froze. For a few seconds, I just stared, trying to make sense of what I was seeing. The movement was slow, almost graceful, like something pushing gently from beneath the water. And then it hit me — what I was looking at wasn’t an object at all.

When the surface rippled, I caught a glimpse of dark, shiny scales. That’s when I realized — there was a snake inside my toilet.

My heart skipped. I quickly slammed the lid shut, terrified it might crawl out, and grabbed my kids without thinking twice. We ran outside, leaving the door wide open.
