“Mr Kalai Vanan, Acres deputy chief executive officer, added that Acres did not receive a call about the incident, but has received calls about snakes being found in toilet bowls in Singapore in the past.

However, these incidents are rare.

“We are not certain why this happens, but our storm drainage networks are home to wild animals like snakes,” he said. “Once in a while, snakes like pythons manage to find their way into the sewer system.”

He added that people who spot a snake in a toilet bowl should leave the lid up, close the toilet windows and doors, switch off the lights and call Acres.

The snake may be trying to come out and the best way to safely and humanely rescue the animal would be to wait for the snake to come out first, he said.”

Please remember to call our 24hr wildlife rescue hotline 97837782 under such circumstances.
