Woman gently removes tennis ball from snake after swallowing whole
After lining the snake’s stomach with oils, Predergast began a 30-minute operation to get the tennis ball out of the surely uncomfortable reptile.
I’ve always thought that they’re super creepy, and the fact that they swallow mice and other small animals whole really freaks me out. What did those tiny critters ever do to them? And don’t even get me started about how they look when they slither around in the grass.
But, as passionate as I am about my disgust for snakes, I feel so, so bad for this one.
