Recently, a man visiting a San Antonio Starbucks got quite a shock after witnessing a snake lying across a toilet in the business’s restroom.

- Bruce Ahlswede had stopped at the Starbucks location after a business meeting and when he stumbled across the slithery creature, he initially thought it was a fake toy, left on the toilet by a jokester. But in reality the snake was real.

Ahlswede realized that when it started to move and swiftly alerted employees and customers that a snake was crawling around the toilet seat.

Ahlswede’s wife, Michele was also in the Starbucks. She was able to snap a photo of the snake and quickly posted it to Facebook. Ahlswede and his wife watched as the snake slithered around the toilet. It eventually crawled underneath the rim and disappeared.

Michelle noted “It had to have crawled up the pipes. I have heard of it happening but have never seen it in person. It’s a python guess he like coffee also.”
