TAIPEI (Reuters) - A Taiwanese man became a sitting target for a snake, which bit his penis as sat on the toilet at his rural home, local media reported on Monday.

"As soon as he sat down, he suddenly felt a knife-like pain and reacted instinctively by standing up," the China Times said. "When he looked down, he saw the big snake."

The 51-year-old man, from Nantou County, was under medical care with minor injuries, a director at Puli Christian Hospital said.

"As soon as he has passed the risk of infection, he can go," the director, who declined to be named, said. "A snake's mouth isn't always clean."

Local television images showed the black and yellow reptile, reportedly a species of rat snake, being uncoiled and plucked slowly from the toilet bowl.

Snakes regularly enter rural homes in Taiwan and other sub-tropical regions of Asia.

Maybe the snake was afraid of the big snake. 

@blingbling. ummmm maybe the snake was afraid of big snake or it might be, snake trying to hunt dead rat.

That is one of my primal fear. However, you got the title wrong. It should be "SnakeBite, when using toilet, farts a lot". </pun>

May Be the Snake was Blind!!!!!  Dint recognize the Real mouse.

guys, snake is almost blind by nature. it searches its prey with the help of tongue...........as i know it uses its tongue as antena.

It could happen in Nepal as well, coz in Terai region people do have small toilets fenced by sack or straw etc.
