A python which mistakenly eaten four golf ball for chicken eggs, has been saved after surgery. A couple placed the balls in their chicken nest to encourage their hen to nest.
They took the 80-centimeter (32-inch) non-venomous snake to the nearby Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary, where senior veterinarian Michael Pyne operated to remove the balls from the snake’s intestine.
‘Those golf balls weren’t moving any further; they were stuck where they were,’ Pyne said.
‘If it hadn’t been found, it would have died for sure,’ he added.
