Anyone who lives in Florida for long enough knows that there's always a chance you may find some kind of reptile or in your toilet, and that's something Miami Dolphins edge rusher Jaelan Phillips recently discovered.
Phillips took to social media recently and posted a video of him stumbling upon an actual iguana in his toilet bowl. Phillips wasn't going to deal with the problem himself, though.
Instead, Phillips called an exterminator to get rid of it, which cost him $150. A small price to pay to not have to stick your hand in a toilet to remove an iguana, if you ask me.
"Man, this is some Florida [expletive] if I've ever seen it," Phillips said in the video. "How the hell did he get in there? That man is bathing. In my toilet. And he is not a pet. I don't know where he came from, that's a grown man."

According to a 2018 article from the Tampa Bay Times, here's how iguanas can make their way from the outside into your toilet.
From the trees "they come down from the vent pipe in the roof," explained veteran Boca Grande iguana trapper George Cera, who has written a cookbook called, Save Florida, Eat an Iguana. "Even if your vent pipe is closed, that doesn't mean your neighbors' is."
The more you know.
