When Michelle Lespron returned home to Arizona in the USA from a trip, she was not at all prepared for the sight that met her.
Greeted with horror
It was like something out of a horror movie. The local broadcaster writes that NBCDFW.
– I had been away for four days and was looking forward to using the toilet in peace and quiet. I lifted the lid, and there it lay crumpled up, she says.

She is overjoyed that the lid was closed while she was gone, so that the snake could not get further into the home.
Pulled up my pants – got a back seam
Lespron called Rattlesnake Solutions, a company that specializes in removing unwanted snakes.
– Oh my God!
They have shared a video from the mission, where you can see the snake being lifted out of the container and hissing straight into the camera.
– Everyone reacts the same way: My God, this is my worst nightmare!
Some believe that it was all a joke, and that the snake was not real. But Lespron assures that the snake was very much alive.

It will be about a black and white whip snake (Masticophis flagellum), which goes by the name coachwhip in English.
Debunks myth
The species is not poisonous, and it gets its name because of the tail, which can resemble a braided whip, explains University of Georgia.
– Many people believe that the snake actively hunts and whips people. None of the myths are true, they write on their pages.
Moved to tears after happy news
The snake was measured to be somewhere between 1 and 1.2 meters long, and has now been moved to another place where it can live in peace in nature.
After this unfortunate incident, Lespron decided to use the guest toilet to relieve himself.
It took her three weeks before she dared to use her own toilet.
Now she always makes sure to turn on the light first, and always lifts the lid very slowly – just in case a critter should be lurking in the bottom of the can.
