I'd not be "shocked" I'd be at the very least dead:

Nice pun with the name they've given her! Although I don't have a problem with snakes per se, I think had I just been popping into the bathroom for quick wee, I would have been a bit discombobulated to find a snake in there!

Aaaagh! A quick wee ...... it might get extended if you met Lulu (OK I admit I'd not spotted the clever name thing!)

Strangely enough, it wouldn`t have bothered me, I`m quite fond of snakes. Now if it had been a tarantula...................!!!!!!!!! shock

Snakes don't bother me - I used to visit primary schools as part of my job and sometimes the children (boys!) would try to shock me by thrusting a pet snake into my hands. Once I had realised that snakes are dry and not at all slimy, I had no fear of them. It would , of course, have been a bit of a shock to find a snake in my bathroom.
Now, if they had handed me a cockroach................

Mr G. has always been fond of snakes when he was a boy his pet snake used to live in side the handlebars of his racing bike it was always popping it's head out to view the scenary when mr.g. was out and about delivering his papers whilst on his paper round.shock

What a beautiful creature! Of course, that's a reaction to the photograph. How I would have reacted face to face is another matter altogether. shock

Context is everything and I reckon a snake wrapped around one's loo would probably bother most of us.

I once worked for a woman from Louisiana who related a story about a cotton mouth moccasin swimming around in the bowl of the loo of their family home. Now that really would make you s* scared.

It would have been the shock of seeing it where it's not supposed to be that would be the worst bit.

Particularly if you were bursting to go! (cross legged emoticon)
