Woman treated in hospital after snake hiding in toilet bites her bum

                     

The snake (actual snake not pictured) has not been seen since the attack

A woman has been released from hospital after receiving a snake bite on her bottom while using the toilet.
Iris Castroverde, 30, was using the toilet when she heard some odd splashing in the bowl, followed up with a stinging bite on her backside.
As she leapt to her feet and flushed the toilet, the mother of two caught a glimpse of a 20cm long green and yellow snake disappearing down the drain.
In a daze of fear and pain Ms Castoverde, from the Spanish town of Narón, managed to get to hospital, where she was treated and discharged.
She told Spain’s ABC newspaper: ‘It happened to me, but it could have happened to my two children.’
Snakes seem determined to invade the sacred space of the lavatory.
