Toilet Snakes are Real– Rainbow Boa Found in San Diego PR Firm Toilet [VIDEO]

In a story that's straight from my nightmares, a PR firm in San Diego had a guest slither out of one of their toilets.

A 5-pound, fanged, forked-tongue guest.

When Stephanie Lacsa of Vertical PR and Marketing went to plunge what she thought was an overflowing toilet in the firm's private bathroom, out came a Columbian Rainbow Boa.

Where the toilet snake came from is not explained.

However, being a PR firm, the company did put out a press release.

Here is an excerpt from the release:

It all started when Stephanie Lacsa, co-founder for Vertical PR + Marketing, noticed that the toilet water level was higher than usual in their private in-office restroom. Thinking quickly, she grabbed a toilet plunger and within a few moments of plunging, she noticed something emerging from the toilet bowl. “I thought my eyes were deceiving me,” Lacsa said. “But as soon I saw the flicker of its tongue, I definitely knew that it was in fact a large snake heading straight towards me.”

 

Lacsa, who has a self-admitted aversion to snakes, stated "I ran out of the bathroom screaming louder than I'd like to admit and taped the door shut until the City of San Diego Animal Control arrived to wrangle the snake. The animal control officer said that she had never witnessed anything like this in her career. She referred to the incident as 'The Stuff of Urban Legends' and I would have to agree. This is every person's worst nightmare!"

The full release can be found on the County of San Diego Department of Animal Services' Facebook page.

You can scream now, it's totally fine.
