This was no plumber's snake.
Residents of a west-end residence made a frightening discovery overnight when they found a large python in their toilet.
The skin-crawling moments occurred in the washroom of a home on Woolner Avenue, near Jane Street and St. Clair Avenue West early Wednesday.
The woman who reported the discovery told police no one in her home owns a snake. Animal control officers seized the reptile and currently have it in cussstody.
But this wasn't the first time Toronto police and animal control officers were called to the street.
Early Tuesday morning, someone in an adjacent Woolner Avenue residence found a corn snake coming out of a wall.
The person who reported that discovery doesn't own any snakes, police said.
That reptile was also taken away by animal control officers.
No injuries were reported in either call.
Police are looking into both cases, but a spokesman said it's more of an animal control issue than a police matter.
