Man bitten on the testicles by a python while sitting on the toilet

A man was bitten on the testicles by a huge python in Thailand, leaving his bathroom sprayed in blood as he desperately beat it to death with a toilet brush.

Horrifying pictures show the aftermath of Thanat Thangtewanon’s exchange with the 12ft reptile hiding the the U-bend of his home toilet on Tuesday.

Thanat said that moments after sitting down he felt a sharp pain tear thorough his t3sticles.

He said: ‘I felt something biting my balls. It was very painful, so I put my hands in the toilet to see what was wrong. I was shocked that I grabbed a snake,’ he said.

‘I quickly stood up and plucked it out. I felt pain, really bad pain, and there was blood everywhere, but I was more shocked to have found a python in the toilet.’

In a desperate attempt to break its grasp, Thanat grabbed the toilet brush and started whacking at the snake’s head until it loosened its grip and died.

The father immediately went to a hospital to get a tetanus vaccine.

He said doctors told him he would not need stitches as the wound was not deep enough to severe the skin and it would heal in a couple of weeks.

He added: ‘My testicles are safe now. I’m lucky it wasn’t a venomous snake. A cobra would have killed me.

‘But I haven’t used that toilet again since.

‘Every time I go, I check what’s inside and put a brush in there to make sure.’
