In Australia, a man recently found a python waiting in his toilet twice in one week.

On October 22, Hervey Bay Snake Catchers in Queensland received a call to extract a coastal carpet python from a toilet in the coastal town of Maryborough.

The snake relocation company wrote in a Facebook post that the reptile “managed to walk right into the S-bend, so we had to cut the pipe under the house and poke on one end and flush on the other.”

They joked that the snake “was bored enough to come to us”, which allowed professionals to capture it and remove it from the toilet.

Several photos of the snake were shared with the publication. One shows the reptile’s long body being removed from the toilet by a person. The other images are close-ups of the scaly creature being manipulated.

But that wasn’t the end of the story for the owner. A few days later, another snake of the same species visited the same toilet.

On October 25, the company shared a second Facebook post with the caption: “Another coastal carpet python in the same toilet as a few days ago!”

The post featured three images of the snake. One photo shows the olive-green reptile curled up in the toilet bowl, while others include a photo of the snake held in a yellow cloth and the snake appraising a handler.

“Not the snake you want crawling all over you,” the company added on social media.

In a statement to PEOPLE, Hervey Bay Snake Catchers said coastal carpet pythons are non-venomous snakes that are “harmless” to humans. The homeowner who found the two snakes was surprised by the encounters, but “no one was in danger or frightened,” according to the company.

In a recent interview with News weekthe snake’s handler, Drew Godfrey, said the owner reached out after “finding the snake while he was going to the bathroom.”

Godfrey said the first snake “was a female that was likely to soak its skin before shedding.”

The snake professional said the second snake was a male who “most likely came in looking for the female as that was the last place she would have left a scent trail.”

“Catching snakes in toilets is not unusual, but fortunately it’s not that common. It’s something we might have to do once or twice a year,” he explained . He went on to say that snakes are “non-venomous” despite their menacing appearance.

According to the Australian branch of RSPCACoastal carpet pythons are “widespread in eastern Queensland and north-eastern New South Wales”. Snakes tend to lounge in trees and on the roofs of houses, but can also be found on the ground.

They are considered “the largest subspecies of the Morelia genus” and can grow up to 2.7 to 3.0 meters long, or 8.9 to 9.5 feet. Much like the two snakes pictured in the Facebook posts, the reptiles tend to be olive brown and tan with varying patterns.
