Thread: Toilet safety

I can tell you it's almost certainly not a trouser snake

Yeah I bite you too if you were going to put crap on me.

Oo

That reminds me I got to go.

Crikey. Reminds me of that song about a Redback on the toilet seat except this would turn out a little more nasty. My man bits are retreating just thinking about this.

BTW what sort of a snake is it?

I would say a fairly angry one - note the flared neck.

If it had a creamy belly with pinkish splotches I would say Eastern Brown - however the pix was taken in the Pilbara so unless it is a tourist it can't be that.

On further looking - it appears from the pix to have the cobra type of neck flattening - I'm thinking perhaps it may be a con or does someone know it to be real?

A few Aussie snakes will flatten out when cranky , although this one seems flatter than most I've seen..
I don't know what type it is ...I do know that I'd be taking a crap elsewhere..
(if I hadn't already)

I'd say it's a common king brown, or mulga snake, Pseudechis australis.

Its a cobra, No cobra's in Australia you say, You're right. Its not taken in Australia.. Cobra Inside Toilet Bowl | Jorymon Techblog. These are more of the pictures. I remember seeing more a few years back and it was in India from memory..

Bloke down the road reckons he had redbacks on his toilet seat but he pi..ed them all off.

I think Fly is right but where ever it is , they don't build the dunnies very wide . 600mm??

Pilbara ....... in India ..... right

It only city people, don't know why they should put the toilet seat down.

Seriousy this is a safety issue.

WHY WOULD YOU PUT A LID ON A DUNNY IF IT WAS NOT SUPOSED TO BE CLOSED BETWEEN USES.

There are heaps of things that will happily jump in you dunny if you leave the lid up and they can get near it.

My mothers house had a dunny near the back door, if ya didn't put the lid down cane toads would take up residence..and they don't flush....and if you don't hook em out first go, they retreat into the ubend.

We ran a motor sport event up near esk on time.....I was on the advanced party.......none of the lids were down on the toilet seats and we spent a couple of hours removing the biggest green frogs I have ever seen from the toilets.

Serioulsy...if you are going to a camp site toilet, take a torch and a stick......and have a relay good look in and arround the dunny before you drop your trousers.

The "redback on the toilet seat" is no joke.

cheers

Bacteriologically I think it's supposed to closed only when you flush to minimize the spray of stuff out of the pan and then it's better if it is opened so it dries out.
