Man Bitten By Nine-Foot Python While On Toilet

The victim is recovering in hospital after being attacked by the snake while sitting on the toilet at his home.

Doctors said the victim's injuries could have been worse​

A Thai man is recovering in hospital after being attacked by a nine-foot (three metres) python while sitting on the toilet.

Attaporn Boonmakchuay suffered a three-inch (eight cm) wound after being bit on the penis by the snake which had crawled up through the plumbing.

The excruciating ordeal lasted half an hour before he managed to prise open the snake's jaws and escape.

Mr Boonmakchuay described how he fought the snake as his wife sought help but, even after a neighbour came to his aid with a knife and rope, he only managed to free himself only when the python momentarily lost its strength.

He said: "All of a sudden, while I was holding it, it began to lose some strength so I used my hand to prise open its mouth. Then the snake released its grip by itself."

The 38-year-old needed stitches but medical staff say that he should make a full recovery.

A doctor from the Chachoengsao hospital, near Bangkok, said that victim was "lucky", adding: "if the bite had gone into the urinary tract it would have been a big problem."

Rescue workers managed to eventually release the snake after using hammers to free it from the toilet.

Large snakes are common even in urban areas of Thailand, particularly during the onset of the rainy season when they leave flooded areas for drier ground.

I'll have trouble relaxing while sitting on the toilet for a few days after watching and reading this!

9ft... That's just a baby...

I used to care for an 18 1/2 ft python. It wasn't mine, it belonged to a friend who was hospitalized and spent 6 months in physical rehab. I was the only person not afraid of it, lol...

I should mention that I was raised around snakes, my god-mother was a herpetologist who raised snakes, including venomous snakes. She would milk their venom to create anti-venom.

You heard the story of those two guys while playing a round of golf, one got bitten by a snake right on the head of his dick while taking a leak behind a bush. The other ran out to the club house to call a doctor who instructed him to suck out the venom while ambulance was on its way. He then leisurely turned around and walked back to his golfing buddy and relayed to him the doctor’s prognosis, that his bitten buddy was going to die.

Oh my dear God - when I've seen the video I was remembered to a horror movie. From now on I'll sit down on my toilet with a bad feeling -.

And GB really you think this monster is a "baby"????

I'm disbelieving that this man will ever again sit down on a toilet! Brrrrrrrr!

 

[gb2000ie]

Words fail me for how horrifying that is

*shudder*

ick

It was I who called it a baby... And yes...
It is also grossly underfed. A properly fed python should be twice the diameter of this fellow...

Here's what a well cared for python looks like...


The sad fact is that many idiots buy these as pets thinking they are cool and just don't realize how fast they grow and how big they get. They end up dumping them in the swamps and we get these...








Those were all captured or killed in Florida, and all were former pets that were released by irresponsible owners...

And this is what these beast are truly capable of doing...




So, yeah... A baby...

We think we are at the top of the food chain but there are things that are much more boss of the food chain when we meet them head on with out our technology.

There is something especially nightmarish about reptiles especially snakes.

At first Brmstn69, forgive me my fault that I've accredited your quotation to GB. It really was with no ill intent. Sorry.

But the pics you have posted here now really are very scary for my mind. And that because I know such reptiles only from the zoo. And it is also not understandable for me that there are people outside who keep such reptiles as pets?!

And I'm living in a country where such reptiles blessedly are not living in the wild. And as much as I know it is here too forbidden to keep them as pets.

Perhaps such "monsters" are normal for you because they appertain to your environment and so you can differentiate a "baby"-python from a real "mature"-python.

So you will understand that for me this special "baby"-exemplar was scary and like from a Hitchcock-movie.

I hate snake, I hope it will never happen to me

First of all, snakes make excellent pets, very low maintenance, a snake that is well fed and properly handled is very docile. In fact for the most part, a snake be it wild or domestic, will only attack if hungry or scared.

Snakes very seldom eat. A domestic snake will usually only eat once every week or two. In the wild, there may be several months between feedings. When you consider that they only kill a few times a year compared to other predators like cats, wolves, hawks, eagles, etc. who kill daily, they really aren't that scary...

And no, these "monsters" are not normal to me, or my environment. They are not native to the US, and that's the biggest problem for Florida. In the rest of the country the released snakes usually die due to the climate . But the conditions in Florida are perfect and they thrive. They are a very invasive species and are doing an incredible amount of damage. Not only are they killing pet dogs and cats, they're eating everything! Reducing the available prey for the native and endangered alligators. But it gets even worse, because they're eating the gators as well...

Thank you so much Brmstm69 for your very interesting posts about snakes or especially phytons.
It will be always very good to know more about wild animals or reptiles as snakes or alligators.

But to know more about them doesn't mean to like them. For me they are simply creepy. I like it to watch them from a safe distance in the zoo but I would not like to face them in the wild.

But nonetheless I would be very happy - honestly - if you could tell us more about your indigenous alligators. These alligators are for me as well very scary but also very interesting animals. Remnants from the prehistory. So - if you would be so very kind - I would be a very interesting listener or here "reader".

I'll ask you this although I know you are not my very best pal here. But this is a theme I'm very interested in - and perhaps in this special case the leopard can change his spots?! Please make an effort! Here or perhaps in a new thread - because I think you could give all interested guys here a good lection.

Well, alligators aren't really indigenous where I live, they are only found in the deep, deep south in places like Florida and Louisiana. I'm almost a thousand miles north in Indiana. So I know very little about them, but here's what I do know...

Females average 8ft. long, while males average 11ft. However males have been known to exceed 15ft. and 1000lbs...
Sex is determined by the temperature the eggs incubate at. Temperatures between 86F - 93F will yield a mixed sex clutch, but over 93F will produce all males and under 86F, all females.
They can regrow teeth and go through 2000-3000 in a lifetime.
Unlike most reptiles, gators are very protective of their young and keep them close for several years, until they reach about 4ft...
Once endangered, today they thrive but remain protected due to their resemblance to the American crocodile, which is endangered. Don't want hunters getting the two confused...
Speaking of crocodiles, south Florida is only place on earth where gators and crocs live together.
Another interesting and very unexpected fact is that while at one time there were fewer than 300 American Crocodiles left, they now number over 1500, thanks to of all things a nuclear power plant. The warm waters of the plants cooling canals have proven an ideal nesting location for the crocs...
And that's the limit of my gator knowledge.

As I said, I live a 1000 miles away from them. In my area the alpha predators are the coyotes, hawks, owls, and maybe a few wolves. Once home to bears and bobcats, but their all gone from here. There is rumor of a family of black panthers descended from from zoo animals that escaped after the train carrying them derailed way back in the 30's and I know people that swear they've seen them, but I never have...

Oh, there is one more that is pretty much exclusive to my area, and if it's prehistoric you want, then check out these bad boys...






The Alligator Snapping Turtle...

Up to 30" in diameter, and 200lbs...
No teeth, but powerful jaws and a very sharp beak... (I'd show you some wounds, but forum rules, no blood, lol)
It has a worm like tongue it uses as a fishing lure...
Like the alligator, temp. determines sex, only opposite, higher temps. produce females and cooler males.
It can breath through it's ass...:rofl:

Wow - only wow! Thank you really so much for your effort to tell me and other interested guys here these things.

Wildlife has since a very long time my deep interest. So it is a reason why I'm so very often are visiting the zoological garden. But as interesting a zoological garden may be - on the other hand such an installation will be too appearing as a jail. But nonetheless I like it because I can study these different animals or reptiles.

The only (dangerous?) wild animals we have here in our woods around Berlin are wolves.
A very long time ago they have been exterminated - but since the last 10 - 15 years they have come over from Poland again and now many packs are living again here. Not liked by the farmers - but they are under nature protection.

By the way - the Alligator Snapping Turtle (the German word is GEIERSCHILDKRÖTE) looks really scary as well.

Thank you once more for this report. I'm very grateful to you. I would be happy if you could tell more about American Wildlife. Or perhaps you can also recommend some books about them. Thank you in advance.

Care for a round of golf?

 

[HunkDigger]

That gator is HUGE. I remember seeing a video of a bunch of gators together, and one just casually gripped the arm of another gator in its jaws, spun around, and twisted it right off. They have ungodly strength.

 

[Shelter]

Wow - No thank you, I'm not in the mood to play a round of golf. It seems to me like prehistoric times meets with modern era. And he is going along as if nothing will bother him.

"get next to it for perspective" WTF!?!?!? Is that not manslaughter!?

B.

A spokesman for the golf coarse said that he (the gator) has been hanging around the area for years and has never bothered anyone. He just goes about his business and ignores everybody. He's become sort of an "unofficial mascot" for the golf club...

But... Considering this video was taken just a few days ago, one has to wonder...
If he's been hanging around the golf coarse for years now, why did it take this fucking long to get him on video? You'd think every body that ever got so much as a glimpse of this beast would be posting videos of it on youtube...

A couple of other thoughts...

I wonder if you can hear a watch ticking when it's near by?

And if Samuel Clemens had seen this would the expression instead be "Golf is a nice walk in the park spoiled by a giant fucking lizard..."

The best editing yet of this video...

Could you help me clean my pool?



Of coarse pool owners in Botswana have it worse...



Oh, sorry... I didn't realize this was a private party...
