A few days ago I wrote about my morning routine, and my need for una tazzina di caff\u00e8<\/strong> to bring me out of the world of dormiveglia<\/strong>. Imagine emerging from bed and stumbling into the bathroom  for your morning ablutions only to see a python pop its head up out of the toilet, now that would certainly wake me up!<\/font><\/p>\n

Well sometimes truth is stranger than fiction. Here is an abridged version of an article that recently appeared in the newspaper:<\/font><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Pitone reale sbuca dal water.
Salvato dagli esperti dell’Enpa (Ente Nazionale Protezione Animale).<\/em><\/font>
Il serpente ha messo fuori la testa: panico tra gli inquilini, poi il recupero. Forse gettato di proposito<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

Royal python pops up out of the toilet. Saved by the Enpa (National Organisation for Animal Protection)<\/em> experts.
The snake stuck its head out:
Panic amongst the tenants, then the rescue. Possibly thrown in the toilet on purpose.<\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
MILANO – A prima vista ha tutta l’aria della leggenda metropolitana, un po’ come il coccodrillo albino delle fogne di New York. E invece \u00e8 successo davvero, certificato dalle fotografie e dal referto dei veterinari dell’Enpa di Milano. <\/strong><\/font><\/td>\nMilano – At first look it has all the makings of a metropolitan legend, a bit like the albino crocodile in the sewers of New York. But in fact it really happened, certified by the photos and the report of the vets<\/font> working for Enpa Milano<\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Il pitone reale nelle tubature di scarico di un condominio c’era davvero, e ha anche rischiato di fare una brutta fine.<\/strong> <\/font><\/td>\nThe royal python really was in the drainpipes of a condominium, and it nearly met a nasty end.<\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Da qualche giorno qualcosa non andava negli scarichi, e qualcuno ha detto di aver avvistato un serpente. In pochi ci hanno creduto finch\u00e9 luned\u00ec mattina, dal water di uno degli appartamenti, ha fatto capolino proprio un bell’esemplare di pitone reale.  <\/strong><\/font><\/td>\nFor some days something had been amiss with the drains, and someone said that they had seen a snake. Few had believed it until Monday morning when a lovely example of a royal python poked its head up from the toilet of one of the apartments.<\/font><\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Ha messo fuori la testa un attimo e poi \u00e8 sparito nuovamente, lasciando attoniti gli occupanti dell’appartamento, che non credevano ai loro occhi. L\u2019avvistamento ha suscitato subito molto scalpore e un po’ di paura tra gli abitanti del palazzo, che hanno chiamato l’Enpa di Milano e un idraulico.<\/strong> <\/font><\/td>\nIt put its head out for a moment, then it disappeared again, leaving the occupants of the apartment astonished<\/font>, they couldn’t believe their eyes. The sighting immediately created a sensation and a bit of fear amongst the inhabitants of the building, who called Milan’s Enpa and a plumber.<\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Grazie al tempestivo intervento dell’esperto, il serpente di circa un metro \u00e8 stato estratto dallo scarico del water e consegnato ai volontari dell\u2019Enpa.<\/strong> <\/font><\/td>\nThanks to the speedy response of the expert, the snake, which was about a meter long, was extracted from the drainage tube of the toilet and handed over to the Enpa volunteers.<\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
GETTATO DI PROPOSITO – Non sono ancora state chiarite le modalit\u00e0 con le quali l\u2019animale sia potuto arrivare agli scarichi, anche se purtroppo l\u2019ipotesi pi\u00f9 plausibile \u00e8 quella che qualcuno, per sbarazzarsene, abbia deciso di gettarlo nello scarico, proprio come il leggendario coccodrillo albino. Per fortuna il povero pitone ha combattuto strenuamente la sua battaglia per la vita.<\/strong><\/font><\/td>\nTHROWN AWAY ON PURPOSE- It’s still not clear how the animal was able to get into the drainage pipes, but unfortunately the most plausible hypothesis is that someone decided to throw it down the toilet in order to get rid of it<\/font>, just like the legendary albino crocodile.
Luckily the poor python strenuously battled to stay alive.<\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Dopo essere stato visitato e lavato, il serpente \u00e8 stato finalmente sistemato al caldo, dove ha ripreso un po\u2019 di calore e vigore. Nei prossimi giorni si potr\u00e0 valutare se l\u2019avventura sia davvero a lieto fine oppure le sofferenze patite nello scarico possano aver causato danni irreversibili al povero animale.<\/strong><\/font><\/td>\nAfter having been checked out and washed, the snake was finally put in a hot place where it warmed up and came to life a bit. Over the following days it will be possible to evaluate whether the adventure really <\/font>will have a happy ending, or if the suffering endured <\/font>in the drains might have caused irreversible damage to the poor animal. <\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
