A 74-year-old woman found a three-foot-long python sticking its head out of her toilet on Monday.

The pensioner, from Schwanstetten, Germany, attempted to flush the snake down the toilet and called the police, news.com.au reports.

Unable to remove it from the toilet, the police called the fire brigade, who opened a manhole and removed the python from the plumbing.

Police summoned a snake expert, who identified the creature as a royal python, and normally not dangerous to humans.

The pensioner, though shocked by the incident, is said to be safe.

The police have registered the snake as a lost item, and the snake expert has offered to look after the animal until its owner can be found.

OMG!
