NYC woman finds live 7-foot-long python in her toilet bowl. October 18th, 2007 As far as nightmares go, this one's got to be right up there. It's late at night. You get up to use the bathroom and guess what's waiting for you in your toilet? Terror in the form of a slithering 7-foot python. Nadege Brunacci found snake in toilet "He was swimming here," "A big snake in my toilet bowl." Last week, Brunacci was minding her own business -- doing her business -- in her Brooklyn bathroom when she peeked in the pooper and saw the massive snake. Nadege Brunacci "I thought I was having a hallucination," Brunacci said. The serpent's head was staring up at her. When asked what it looked like, Brunacci wasted little time. Nadege Brunacci "It looked like a python swimming in my toilet sir," Needless to say, Brunacci felt a little flushed. She said she called for help but no one believed her. Imagine that ... no one believed there was a 7-foot python in her toilet. Go figure. Nadege Brunacci "We just closed it and we put the biggest thing we had on top of it," She said the FDNY and some plumbers came after she flushed it down the toilet. Eventually they removed the thing from a section of pipe right in the apartment downstairs. No one knows where the snake came from or how it got there, but Brunacci says she's just glad it's gone -- if not forgotten. Nadege Brunacci "I just hope he's no more," she said. "And I do wait a long time now." The snake is now at a Brooklyn animal retreat, which promised to find it a proper home -- most likely with a reptile rescue organization upstate.
