Toilet Snake

Jersey City, New Jersey, October 18, 2007:

There was no Halloween bogeyman in the closet for one New Jersey man -- just a 7-foot-long python in his toilet. Presidential candidate Ron was trimming his mustache in his bathroom Tuesday night when he glanced back and saw the slithering serpent peeking out from his toilet, most of its body hidden in the pipes.

"I turned on the light and screamed bloody murder," Ron told the New Jersey Spew. "That f*cker was huge! At first I thought Brad hadn't flushed...It still makes my heart race."

Brad is Ron's house- and ticket-mate for the Ronatarian Party.

Ron slammed down the lid, put a full case of beer on top of the toilet, and began calling for help, which came from local firefighters. Plumbers had to tear apart the basement pipes to capture the snake, he said.

It's unclear how the snake made its way into the pipes.

Ron says afterwards he gave the snake to one of Brad's friends he calls a "snake charmer."

This is Ron's second run-in with a snake in less than a month. Back in September, a boa constrictor slithered out of Ron's Camaro while he was pumping gas in Pennsylvania (Snake in the Gas).

Ron says he started pissing in the sink after the scare. And when he trims his mustache, he said, "I'm looking over my shoulder."
