Always look before you sit down on the porcelain throne. John Riddle in Florida is lucky he heeded that advice. There was a large, angry iguana lounging around inside his toilet. As John approached the commode, the iguana turned quickly and opened its mouth.
I had a couple iguanas when I was in college. They can be super-fast. The claws and do some damage. And they have a ton of bad bacteria that can make you really sick if they bite you. Now imagine getting attacked while it’s covered in toilet water. Soap ain’t going to help if it bites your butt.
The intruding reptile tried to crawl back into the pipes, but John eventually shooed it out of the toilet and out the backyard where it disappeared. Mr. Riddle thinks the lost lizard snuck in when he left the door open while walking his dogs.
Apparently iguanas in toilets are common in Florida. Here in Nebraska, all we have to worry about are spiders.
