Mum Phanarat Chaiboon, 42, was bitten on the posterior as she used her loo in the Taling Chan area of Thai capital Bangkok.

She shut the lid and weighed it down before driving herself to the Phayathai 3 hospital.

Doctors there were unwilling to use an anti-venom treatment as they did not know which species of snake had bitten their patient, so they phoned a security guard at the housing complex, who confirmed it was a python.

But a few days later her 15-year-old daughter Gift saw an even bigger snake in the downstairs toilet, and was so frightened that she left home to stay with relatives.

但几天后，她15岁的女儿Gift在楼下的卫生间里，看到了一条更大的蛇！这名妈妈感到非常害怕，于是他们一家六口人离开了住所，暂时与亲戚们住在一起。因为他们以前在花园里发现过一只大型的巨蜥，（现在又接连发现有蛇）所以他们认为，在他们房屋底下一定有一个洞穴，很多爬行动物在那出没。
