"It took a little bit of persuasion for [the python] to vacate the cubicle," officials wrote in a Facebook post, but the lil' guy did eventually slither away — to new horizons and new toilets, we presume.

While the whole snake-in-toilet-bowl phenomenon is a rarity, it's definitely not unheard of. Last September, two snakes — probably searching for moisture — took up residence in a Queensland toilet and had to be coaxed out by a snake catcher.
