WEST JAKARTA, INDONESIA — Imagine going to your bathroom and coming face to face with a cobra rearing its flared head.<br /><br />That's the kind of terror residents in West Jakarta, Indonesia faced on Sunday after tens of the venomous snakes invaded their crappers.<br /><br />All in all, there were 18 cobras averaging a length of 20 centimeters, which took four firemen 30 minutes to round up. They will eventually be handed over to the Indonesia Sioux Snake Foundation.<br /><br />The Jakarta Post reports that according to a homeowner named Hera, the snakes crept inside through the drainage system, which is connected to a warehouse.<br /><br />Workers there had previously encountered snakes too, likely because of its proximity to a cemetery and plot of land where bamboo trees grow and where the cobras breed.<br /><br />The cemetery was just renovated, so the slippery serpents were probably scouting for a new pad when residents spotted them in the toilets and slithering into bedroom. <br /><br />According to reptile observer Arbi Krisna, the snake invasion isn't surprising, since we're in the middle of snake hatching season. <br /><br />So peep before you pee, and make sure to clean the moist, dark, and quiet places where snakes lay their eggs.
