A Thai woman was left terrified after discovering a huge monitor lizard hiding in her bathroom.<br /><br />The shocked resident was about to use the loo when she found the reptile inside her house in Saraburi, central Thailand.<br /><br />Footage from last Thursday morning (April 23) shows the rescue team going into the bathroom to catch the 7ft long monitor lizard that is hiding behind an earthen jar.<br /><br />They caught the serpent and carried it out of the house before tying its body and mouth with a rope. It was later released to the wild away from the village.<br /><br />The owner believed the monitor lizard had crawled out of the drain to find a colder place.<br /><br />She said: "I heard my neighbour scream but I did not know they were screaming because of the reptile. Maybe it found its way into my bathroom."<br /><br />"The weather has been so hot recently. It might have been looking for a cooler place to rest."
