A guest at a resort in the Philippines had a sub-par experience when he opened up the toilet and found a highly venomous king cobra snake. Yikes. Thankfully, he saw the snake before it was too late.

“A hotel guest captured the terrifying moment a king cobra emerged from the toilet of a resort in Don Salvador Benedicto, Philippines,” wrote cbsnews in an Instagram post sharing the video. “The guest called resort staff to help catch and remove the venomous snake.”

Footage shows someone flip open the toilet lid using a stick and then try to extract the snake from the bowl, also using the stick. After being poked and prodded a bit, the cobra pops its head up and looks around. Eventually, the person recording the video slams the lid back down, as if to say “never mind.”
