I believe this would make it hard to ... concentrate.

An Australian wildlife worker was called to pull a 7-foot python out of a septic tank, after a plumber found it hiding in a woman's toilet.

Peter Phillips, a wildlife officer for the Northern Territory Parks and Wildlife Service, said in a statement released by the Northern Territory government, "The ... resident originally called a plumber because her toilet was blocked. I arrived to see a large python head peering out of the toilet bowl."

According to AP, the python was removed through the septic tank because it was impossible for it to come straight out of the toilet.

Phillips said that the Carpet Python found in the tank is largely a nocturnal animal but it must have hidden there during the day to hunt for frogs.

"The tank was obviously a great home, because the snake was so fat and healthy it was it difficult to retrieve," he said.

The worker also added that the snake, which is nonpoisonous, would soon be released.
