Flussssh it away! Terrifying moment man spots a COBRA slithering into his toilet bowl
- Ray Sopha had been about to use the toilet at his home in Pailin, Cambodia
- The homeowner initially thought that the previous user had not flushed properly
- But he quickly realised that there was actually a venomous snake lying in wait
A Cambodian man had a very close call when he spotted a cobra lurking in his toilet just as he was about to use it.
Ray Sopha initially thought that the previous user had not flushed properly when he spotted something in the toilet at his home in Phsar Prom, Pailin.
However he quickly realised it was actually a venomous snake lying in wait.
In the terrifying clip, recorded on March 3, water can be seen spinning round the toilet bowl after Ray uses the flush.
But as it ebbs away the snake's head suddenly appears as it repeatedly sticks out its tongue.
There is a brief pause as the cobra remains completely still but then seems to spot Ray and wriggles further toward the surface.
It breaks through the water as Ray and his friend can be heard in the background weighing up their options.
Ray Sopha had been about to use the toilet at his home in the village of Phsar Prom in Pailin, Cambodia, when he spotted something in the water
Ray rushed outside to call for help before some relatives agreed to help extract the animal.
But, after they returned, the cobra was nowhere to be seen despite a thorough search inside the house.
The homeowner said he and his family have not used the toilet since.
He also placed a cover over the top of the bowl and drained the water in a bid to stop the reptile returning.
The cobra remained completely still but spotted Ray and wriggled further toward the surface
He said: 'We've been using the other toilet in the house for the last week. We're not going back into that bathroom until we're sure the snake will not return.
'I'm relieved that I noticed the creature before I sat on the toilet.
'I've only seen such things happening on TV, I never thought it would happen to me in real life.'
