A woman from Australia has been bitten by a snake that was lurking in her toilet. Fortunately for Helen Richards, 59, the bite on her bottom was non-venomous, but did leave her with minor puncture wounds. Ms Richards said she went into the bathroom without turning the light on and felt what she called a “sharp tap” shortly after sitting on the toilet. Ms Zeleny said the snake lashed out in fear as its “preferred exit point” was blocked. “‘Mid-stream’, she felt something bite her bottom,” said Ms Zeleny of Ms Richards.
