Friends at a resort in the Philippines found a king cobra in a hotel toilet. The video of this incident went viral. Officials believe that the snake might have come there in search of a cool place to escape the scorching heat.
A group of friends vacationing in the Philippines were shocked when they found a king cobra hiding inside the toilet of their hotel. According to The Sun report, the incident took place at a resort in Salvador Benedicto. This place is part of the Northern Negros Natural Park of the Philippines. When one of the five friends staying at the resort went to the bathroom, he noticed something strange in the toilet bowl. Seeing something black in the water, he first thought that perhaps the toilet had not been flushed properly. But as soon as he flushed again, the entire group got goosebumps. A snake’s head came out of the pipeline under the toilet.
A viral video of this incident has also surfaced. In this, a person can be seen carefully lifting the lid of the toilet and then slowly teasing the snake with a long stick. After a while, the snake came out and started licking its tongue while staring at the person making the video.
Dranreb Teodosso, a member of the group, told ‘The Sun’ that at first he could not believe it when his friend told him this. After this he himself ran to check the toilet. Before calling the hotel staff, he tried to check with a stick whether the snake was alive or not.

Initially the group thought it was an ordinary water snake. But when video of the incident was posted online, snake experts said it appeared to be a king cobra, one of the world’s most venomous snakes. Local officials told ‘The Sun’ that there have been reports of king cobra sightings in Salvador Benedicto before. According to Superintendent Gina Gerangaya, investigators are also investigating whether the snake has escaped from illegal captivity. Officials also expressed suspicion that due to the scorching heat in the area, this snake might have come here in search of a cool place. At present, the authorities have started investigating this incident.
