Snakes are seeking refuge in toilet due to hot weather

Washington Post: In Australia, snakes sometimes slither into suburban backyards and homes.
When the weather gets warm, they lounge in the sun.
When it gets hot, they seek cool places: a wall crevice, under a refrigerator, under a barbecue grill, behind an air-conditioning unit.
When it gets too hot and dry, they seek places with moisture, as some Australians are quickly learning.
Luke Huntley, a snake catcher in Queensland, had to remove snakes from people’s bathrooms, as the country experiences a record-setting heat wave.
Last week, he removed a seven-foot python that had slithered into an open door and climbed into the shower not only to escape the heat but also to find water. Days earlier, he pulled a small tree snake that had coiled in another homeowner’s toilet bowl.
