Summary:

A man staying at a Denver-area Best Western hotel found a snake crawling out of the toilet in his room. “I walked past the bathroom and… there was a snake coming out of the toilet,” the man stated. “It was about a foot out of the toilet when I [saw] it, and the toilet was closed and it was still trying to come up on out of it.”

Local police arrived at the scene and removed the snake. The increasingly frequent abandonment of pet exotic animals is likely to blame for this hotel room scare. The previous owner of the snake presumably dumped the snake at the hotel and left.
