An early morning bathroom trip turned into a literal nightmare for one Texas woman.
Patty Tidwell of Andrews, Texas, walked into her bathroom around 3:30 a.m. on Friday, September 3, when she found a massive python chilling on the toilet.
"I got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, and I open my bathroom door, switched on the light and there was this big python hanging out on the back of the toilet hanging into my sink. It freaked me out, never expected that," she told KWES.
She slammed the door and called 911. An officer from the local police department picked up the snake with Tidwell's hair straightener and took it out of the bathroom.
Had an unexpected visitor at 3:30 ish this morning. Scared me when I opened the bathroom door. Thank you to officer Brooks for saving the day. 😅❣

The officer believed that the snake might have been someone's pet because it was large and "well fed."
Tidwell thinks the snake got into the bathroom through the toilet.
She's not taking any risks. She told the TV station that she's keeping bricks on the lid to keep future animal intruders out of her bathroom.
