That was one woman's horrified reaction after footage of a "nice solid" red-bellied black snake lurking inside a Kiama bathroom was shared on Facebook.
Fortunately, the owners didn't have to torch the place.
Instead, they called Glen Peacock from Illawarra Snake Catcher, who was able to nab the intruder and return it to the bush.
"Just a little red belly in the bathroom," Mr Peacock shared on his Facebook page.
"This one was just around the corner from the Little Blow Hole in Kiama.
"You tend to get the bigger ones in spring. They are a bit careless out looking for a mate - males with one thing on there mind."
Mating season isn't the only reason why snakes are on the move.
Another is the lack of water supply in reserves due to the drought and lack of rain.
If you see a snake on your property, call a snake catcher.
