A group of friends enjoying a vacation at a resort in the Philippines got the shock of their lives after finding a snake inside a hotel toilet. What first looked like a blocked toilet quickly turned into a frightening moment when the reptile suddenly emerged from the bowl. The incident happened at a resort in Salvador Benedicto, located inside the Northern Negros Natural Park in the Philippines, according to The Sun. The clip has now spread widely online, with many people reacting in disbelief after learning that the snake may have been a king cobra. Friend Thought Toilet Was Blocked As per The Sun, five friends were staying at the resort when one of them walked into the washroom and noticed something unusual inside the toilet bowl. At first, he reportedly thought the toilet had not been flushed properly because he saw a dark shape inside the water. Trying to clear it, he flushed the toilet again. But moments later, a snake suddenly appeared from the pipework below the toilet seat. Terrified, the man rushed back to alert his friends. However, they initially believed he was joking or exaggerating the situation. The group only realised the danger after they checked the bathroom themselves. Video Shows Snake Inside Toilet A video of the incident later surfaced online. In the clip, one of the guests carefully lifts the toilet lid while holding a long stick. The camera then captures the snake slowly moving inside the toilet before raising its head. The reptile can also be seen flicking its tongue while staring toward the person recording the video. The footage shows the group trying to stay at a distance while checking whether the snake was alive. One of the guests, identified as Dranreb Teodoso, told The Sun that the group first believed it was just a harmless water snake. Hotel staff were later informed about the reptile.

A user added, “Tbh that just means their toilets are super clean. Can’t imagine a snake living in a cesspool lol.” Another commented, “Called resort staff to help catch and remove the venomous snake.” Someone said, “This is one of those times when I wish it was Ai.” A comment read, “New fear unlocked.” According to local authorities quoted by The Sun, sightings of king cobras have reportedly happened before in Salvador Benedicto. Superintendent Gina Gerangaya said officials are now investigating the matter further.
